The post just seems like a verbose post hoc justification for wanting to reinvent something. Which is fine, a lot of good learning comes out these toy domain languages. I just don't see any technical benefits or conceptual leaps here other than to say "I built this".
It's like back in the day when someone would proclaim smarty to be a disaster and then release their template system that was conceptually exactly the same baring some syntactic sugar

I agree with the learning part but SunSed is not a toy language. I could be wrong about how valuable it's going to be but it's definitely more than a toy.
Sundown is a very simple preprocessor that plays well with the SunSed language. With SunSed, you can create your own HTML tags (that run server-side) and abstract HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
Sundown is just the icing on the cake that lets you easily use your custom tags. SunSed language is a complete programming language, you can checkout the tags here:
