With Roxen, it's more of a html-ish type syntax....

example.

<sqloutput quote="#" query="SELECT name, address FROM people">
Name is #name#.
Address is #address#.
</sqloutput>

Contents are repeated for every matched row -- quite simple... you don't
have to set up some connection and destroy it like ASP and PHP...

I prefer this syntax to PHP3/ASP.

even RealNetworks uses Roxen.. sure it's not as popular as Apache, but it
kicks Apache ass =)
