I think you're pointing out Dave Glass' technique over at yahoo, right? This one http://www.yuiblog.com/blog/2010/04/09/node-js-yui-3-dom-man... ?

The ideas there are definitely very powerful... and just plain sensible. I'd like to find a way to work this in, but it will take time. Do you see any fundamental reason a lisp equivalent of this technique couldn't be reproduced, using something like parenscript?

It's been done already: http://code.google.com/p/cl-closure-template/

That's extremely different from the technique that Glass is demoing - in fact, it's the antithesis. It takes care of unifying the server/client templates (by introducing an unnecessary layer, imo), but it's very obviously string-based output rather than live DOM manipulation like Enlive or YUI on node.js
