I feel like Nota is underselling itself here, or at least not properly arguing for why a new language was created. If LaTeX were a perfectly fine document language, then surely we could extend e.g. Pandoc to provide these dynamic features when rendering LaTeX to a web page.

But instead, a new document language was created. Why?

I am not really sure about their description. Scribble is structured text that can be converted to whatever you want.

You could write scribble renderer that renders the document as a server that serves the document in parts over Ajax.
