Brenn Hill commented on SLING-2919:
-----------------------------------
I disagree. Neither JSP or Slightly are well suited to modern FE development.
Slightly is proprietary and has almost zero IDE support and can't be run
outside of AEM/Sling environment. There is vastly more tooling available for
handlebars. We've used handlebars in our projects and it's MUCH better across
teams than Slightly or JSP.
> Support handlebars as a scripting language

> Components: Scripting
> Reporter: Ian Boston

>
> Handlebars.js is a popular scripting language used client side. The markup is
> simple and straightforward, much like velocity in some ways, but without any
> of the confusion ove template or MVC. There is a version of Handlebars for
> java that uses an identical template language and appears to be well
> supported and has some nice features such as pre-compiling scripts serverside
> into Javascript functions and modules. (not all that relevant for server side
> scripting, but interesting none the less).
> I am going to experiment with a Sling Script engine in the whiteboard area to
> see if its viable to use handlebars java as an alternative to JSP.
