I kinda like kotlinx.html in Kotlin; it's an eDSL for writing HTML in actual Kotlin. So I can put break points in my template code. It's a tiny bit slower than string-with-some-interpolation type of template libraries; but it's so little that it's a price I'm willing to pay. Also there's more impact on compile times than with string-with-some-interpolation type of template libraries.

The typesafety you get is what you already have in Kotlin, and there a little extra in that you cannot nest certain HTML-elements in certain other elements (adhering to the HTML spec). You can come up with your own elements and attributes, but the ones that are in the HMTL-spec are usually available in kotlinx.html as well (and thus can be auto-completed).

A large part of this library is generated from the actual HTML spec.

Claude Code seems to have not problem writing it (I barely write templates myself these days).
