Hi Chris, There hasn't been much progress of late (this year in fact) due to work commitments on my part (not to mention various other bits of shit that life's thrown at me over the past few years). There's a working prototype in Perl, available here: http://github.com/abw/Template-TT3 There's a (very basic) website for TT3 that contains some links and general blurb. http://tt3.template-toolkit.org/ This website was actually built using TT3, so it's not completely vapourware. :-) There's this talk I gave to the London Perl Conference a couple of years ago which describes some of the features to whet your appetite. http://tt3.template-toolkit.org/talks/tt3-lpw2009/slides/start.html Then last year I started working on hemp: http://github.com/abw/hemp Hemp is a C library for parsing, representing, manipulating and presenting document based languages. In other words, it'll be a C version of TT3, but also generic enough to implement other template/document languages (e.g. TT2 for backwards compatibility and others). Being a C library means it's fast, memory efficient and can be plugged into various different high level languages (e.g. Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, etc). I'm hoping that will increase the exposure a bit and encourage more people to join the development effort. Well, that's the plan, but right now it's still a work in progress. It's not as far advanced as the Perl version, but it's not far behind. I was originally planning to spend the second half of this year on finishing it off, but the project I'm getting paid to work on got extended for a few more months. However that's close to being finished (a matter of weeks now) and then I'm not planning to take on any more work for a few months so I can concentrate on finishing it off. So the good news is that we're still on target for a launch on Tuesday, some time shortly after lunch, as promised :-) Cheers Andy _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://mail.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
