Re: Template strings as a template language.

May be getting off-topic here, but I wonder why we need templating languages at all in this day and age. Originally templating systems were developed for server-centric applications such as PHP etc. which generate HTML and blast it down to the client, as a way to untangle program logic and display

Re: Template strings as a template language.

Bob, not sure why you think template means HTML, in my case the main problem I have in JS is the absence of basic `printf` like syntax so that I can build at runtime any kind of i18n string passing an object, without needing to have the string evaluated in place, which is the strength of ES6

Re: Template strings as a template language.

I don't think there's any risk in using my initial gist based on `Function` and `with` ... really. You should **never** pass within `${parts}` user inputs, you just pas there a variable name, or you reach a property. ```js var str = 'my ${gist}'; str.template({gist: 'window.alert(123)'}); // my

This seems to be the same thing I posted before as [String.substitute()]( https://esdiscuss.org/topic/string-substitute) I guess I didn't explain correctly, but ayy I'm glad you guys are discussing this. On Tue, Sep 15, 2015 at 10:39 AM, Claude Pache wrote: > > Le 15

Template strings as a template language.

I'd really like to use Template strings as a templating language, but unless I include a lot of boilerplate code (export a template string wrapped in a function from a file) or use eval after loading a file as a string it's pretty much impossible. Is there a simpler way to be doing
