Kaldari, RobLa, Trevor and I met yesterday to discuss
the template RFC [1].
Sadly Gabriel was not present.
Sorry, you scheduled the meeting while I was on vacation.
Kaldari and I are very concerned that
we are blocking standardisation of a generic template library on the
completion of Knockoff.
I'm not aware of any remaining blockers, so I'd be curious what you would
consider missing for completion. The only major feature asked for in the
mobile evaluation [1] (container-less control flow syntax) has been
supported since knockoff 0.1.3, released July 8th [2].
2) We need a standard template language
We questioned whether point 2 should be blocking, as
we recognised
that even if we decide to standardise on Knockoff in future, it should
be trivial to write a script that converts Hogan/Handlebars template
language to Knockoff.
There will be bits like helpers and complex expressions that aren't trivial
to convert automatically, and will require manual intervention.
We can make quick progress by making a decision and then making it happen.
I'm sure we can figure out a way to do it without waiting around for another
few months ;)
