Hi James,
What is the scope of this effort? Are we talking about changing it to all
the FTL code?
AFAIK, When square bracket interpolation syntax is used, ${expression} and
#{expression} in the template will be just static text, which is printed
as-is. That means all the existing code will become stale, we need to
change that also.
And there will also be concern about migration from lower-release to
higher-release.
Please share your thoughts on this.
