Web development is, and will always be, just a game of finding increasingly ~~cursed~~ unique ways to concatenate HTML strings

One day I'll find a reason to use html!. One day.

The problem is that what everybody really wants is parameterization, not concatenation. But most solutions therefor are flaky even if they exist.
