Has there ever been a widely used open source project for writing HTML as functions inside of another language? (JSX and PHP don't count - you're still writing the HTML markup).
I have been working on a raku module (HTML::Functional) to do this, as with the OP the main motivation is for me to be able to declutter my own projects, so not widely used, but yes OSS.
use HTML::Functional;
my $body = body [
div( :class<jumbotron>, [
h1("Welcome to Dunder Mifflin!"),
p "Dunder Mifflin Inc. (stock symbol{strong 'DMI'})\n" ~
q:to/END/;
is a micro-cap regional paper and office
supply distributor with an emphasis on servicing
small-business clients.

From the module synopsis which means some of the capabilities of the Raku Quoting Slang are in play ... https://raku.land/zef:librasteve/HTML::Functional. Raku functions only need parens for disambiguation btw. Named attrs can use the :name<value> syntax which imo is the tidiest.
Here is an "Elm-like" example from https://elmprogramming.com/building-a-simple-page-in-elm.htm... coded in raku. HTMX is a great lever to put the code on the server - thus Go, Raku, whatever.
