This is a shared opinion. At just what it does (composition) Tiles is effective. There was some initial progress on getting Mustache templates working with tiles both client and server side. A composition implementation by Tiles that was able to seamlessly work on server and in client would see new adoption I believe. Even though current trends in a microservices platform is for more isolated UIs, I do believe the need for composition will always remain in places. The work that Antonio did in Tiles-3 created the platform to keep Tiles as a composition tool regardless of the trend and technology of the day. Making Tiles work with Thymeleaf would be a fantastic improvement. If you had time to skeleton out the beginnings I'll offer my help for sure. So far my understanding of stuff around Tiles and Thymeleaf is limited to these types of efforts: - https://github.com/thymeleaf/thymeleaf-extras-tiles2 - http://spring.io/blog/2012/10/30/spring-mvc-from-jsp-and-tiles-to-thymeleaf/ ~mck
