Having html/head/body/h1/p/etc.. all be functions that output the appropriate HTML. You could also create constructs that provide the same functionality as the JSTL (loops and conditionals the most useful). Just an idea I'm playing with.

I remember liking Lisp in college, and have read that it's continued to advance to the point that you can do webby things with it. Let me know if you start to build full featured webapps, and how well it works. It’s more academic, but it’s more of a mindfuck too: try Prolog.
