Brenn Hill commented on SLING-2919:
-----------------------------------
[~olli] This doesn't really solve the underlying desire for handlebars: A
template engine that works for both modern FE dev (usually node.js powered with
stuff like gulp/grunt doing CSS compilation, sprite building, etc) that ALSO
works natively inside Sling.
And it's doable: we have it working right now and the workflow is GLORIOUS.

This is what it is based on, already Apache 2 licensed. It would be trivial to
add this to Sling officially. My company will be releasing our updates soon
which include a number of extra helpers and AEM 6.2 support with service users
for handlebars.
> Support handlebars as a scripting language

> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Scripting
> Reporter: Ian Boston
> Assignee: 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.
