    I also enjoy simple templating engines. It makes it far easier to reason about a template and mentally step-through it. For existing art, there are:

    DustJS which is a "logic-less" template engine (just loops and simple if-statements): https://github.com/linkedin/dustjs

    and there is also mustache, which is very similar: https://mustache.github.io/

    Personally, I've re-implemented DustJS in rust but its still a very alpha project: https://code.fizz.buzz/talexander/duster

    JSX just a templating language in this case, right? No reactivity at all? What's the benefit against using something like https://github.com/janl/mustache.js/ ?

    You don't have to even program the replacement part yourself, because there are many libraries made specifically for that. For this example, I'd recommend mustache.
  • Candidate Boost.Mustache review starts today

    This is one of the least-bad names because it implements a non-Boost standard and it's named after that. I've used mustache in Python so knew immediately it was a templating language.

    First, I setup mustache (npm package) as the templating language (the npm package hasn’t been updated in two years, so that’s great). Mustache is really simple, it provides a few helper utilities, like replacing variables, or iterating over data,

    Once the array is ready and back in place, we need to display the information from the emails, and for that we can use the template node. This node uses the mustache system, which is a logicless template engine for creating dynamic content. In other words, it generates HTML code by using tags that are replaced by code.
