I really love Elm's way of writing html. It's like writing html without closing tags, just indentation.

Check out haml. Quite similar approach I think.

Not equivalent, but arguably more useful for manual authoring: Emmet [0] was all the range a while back, and I still use it to write HTML. It comes naturally if you're used to writing CSS-like selectors, and mostly gets out of the way.

DSL-wise, I've rather enjoyed Clojure's Hiccup [1].

When writing html for documents and not as code, indenting everything really lost its luster to me, it's really nice to have the content root flush with the left margin.

For me personally, elmish offers even better usability. But thats probably down to simple familiarity.
