jstachio VS penna

Anyway it was one of the reasons we (my company) went with Mustache and why I wrote JStachio.

I don't know Dart that well (only experimented with simple apps) and just kind of lurk on this sub but I am the author of a HTML templating language (Mustache) in Java that uses annotations and code generation: https://github.com/jstachio/jstachio

Things like this https://github.com/jstachio/jstachio (author) would not be possibly with just an include like preprocessor.

Hey guys, wanted to share my project JStachio with you all. It's a java templating engine that's like Mustache.java and Handlebars.java in syntax but also compile time type safe like JTE, Rocker, and Qute.

On a related note I have been really liking the newer Java feature of being able to execute .java files directly. I have been using them frequently to execute what would normally be a Bash or Python script. I actually have a Java .java script that mimics some parts of the Maven release plugin and because Java speaks XML really well it was easier to implement it in Java than Bash or some other scripting language which makes me think /u/bowbahdoe point on including a JSON parser with the standard lib would be very useful.

I plan on releasing an unpoly (htmx like library) petclinic using my templating library https://github.com/jstachio/jstachio (superior to thymeleaf but I’m biased) and some avaje + Jooby. Hopefully next month.

But going back to they can generate whatever they want they could even make an expression or template language that is type safe (and I know this is possible as an author of such a library).

For those that do not like the syntax and still want compile time string interpolation check out my library: https://github.com/jstachio/jstachio

I'm going to piggy back on my current project, Penna, a SLF4J backend built for the specific use case of writing JSON logs to stdout, targeted at services running in containers, k8s or similar.

I'm coming to announce that soon I'll be releasing version 0.7 of penna and this might be the final alpha release.

I'll mention https://github.com/hkupty/penna here as I think it needs more testing and traction...

I don't understand why the java community has this anti-innovation behaviour... Why invent planes when we have our good ol'reliable ships? Why invent cars when a horse is so affordable? Why bump java 8 to 17, try a new build system, a new log backend (yes, I heard the same when I was starting out penna)? This is a common pattern on the java community... Seems like we're conformed to an old standard that suffices... It's good enough...

I believe this is a kind of project that would benefit from penna, given it is both faster and more memory-efficient than logback. I'm working towards making it production-ready yet, but I believe this seems like a suitable use-case.
