Iowa lets you separate code from HTML in a clean way, you can even edit your pages with any html editor. Not the mess of mixed html and embedded or whatever sections. Each page is a class of it's own and you add all you code in a single section. Later on you cal them with @whateverfunctionorattribute. Input fields can be bound to a member of the pages class and forms may invoke methods (when they're called, all he members from the input fields are already set). Currently it's at version 0.15 (http://beta4.com/iowa) and I'm not sure how it performs in a larger application, but it'worth a look (expect documentation to be sparse).
