Strongly Typed View Data in NRest

Sending data from a resource to a view in a strongly-typed, but syntactically lightweight manner is not possible with C# or VB.NET.

So check out this screencast of the new "render" macro in NRest!

In a nutshell, my resource looks like:

[Resource("")]
public class RootResource
{
    public Get() : void
    {
        def test = 42;
        render (Foo = "Hello", Bar = "World", test);
    }
}

My VB.NET view looks like:

Public Class RootPage
Inherits Page(Of RootPageContent)

    Public Overrides Function GetHtml() As XElement
        Return _
        <html>
            <body><%= Content.Foo %>, <%= Content.Bar %></body>
        </html>
    End Function
End Class

Quick NRest Video

This is a very quick video showing the work I've been doing with Nemerle, ASP.NET routing and VB 9 XML literals.
I'm trying to find the most efficient way to create RESTful web applications. I'm willing to use all the tools in the box and even make my own to achieve this.
