Are you familiar with Xml and xsl/xslt? They took this concept a long, long way.

And DSSSL before that. But I guess XML is just not hip enough anymore.

Actually, having done some work on XSLT these days again I was joking to a colleague at work that one day someone will surely think what a great idea it would be to create a programming language in JSON to transform JSON to other JSON. And lo and behold, a few days later I stumble over this.

I have to admit, XSLT looks far nicer to me, but that might be familiarity and a proper specification to read to understand things instead of just a bunch of examples.
