You have just mixed HTML and server code. You fail.
Of course once you master it, you separate the code from the html and call it from the view like this:
hello.nxt
name = request.get('name','world')
list = ['this','language','rocks']
response.render('hello.html',name,list)
<h1>Hello {{ name.upper }}</h1>
<ul>
{% for item in list %}
<li>{{ item }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
My point is, the language has to be designed as a web framework from the get go, routers, templates, models, everything should be right there so noobs feel confident from day one. That's the only way to conquer the world.
