A "blub language" isn't an inferior language, or one with less features. It's a language in the middle of the ladder that goes from assembly to the ideal language. All the languages you described except Lisp are, in PG's mind, blub languages. Notice that Lisp can be applied to every of your examples: just use it as a code generator (which is very commonly the case for HTML, and I've seen it done for C as well), or use an appropriate dialect (eg. bitc for low-level, arc or clojure for web programming, CL for AI).

What you're describing is just a less powerful or a less appropriate language.
