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
