Well, apart from theoretical jQuery thing, which is not hard to deal
with in Templetor, except that it's a bit more typing, there's one
more thing that's a bit awkward. The if clause in tag attributes. For
example:
$if sunny:
<div class="yellow">
$else:
<div class="grey">
...
</div>
would be nicer if it looked like:
<div class="$('yellow' if sunny else 'grey')">...</div>
or something similar. Maybe it's doable, but I don't know how? Anyway,
it's not a big problem, and I do it like the first example.
I guess the main motivation, though, was simply curiosity. I've just
discovered Evoque (http://evoque.gizmojo.org/), which sounds
interesting, boasting better performance than Mako, automatic escaping
using Qpy, etc. I'm actually in the process of writing the contrib
render for it, so I can test it in one of my apps.
I'm not looking for a be-all-end-all solution (although I'd be very
happy if I did stumble upon it). It was just fascination with all
those templating libraries out there. I'm sure every one of them had a
good reason to be (re)invented, so I'm curious to see what they have
to offer.
