As many folks have noted, our current templating system works ok for simple things, but doesn't scale well -- even moderately complex conditionals or text-munging will quickly turn your template source into what appears to be line noise.
And we all thought Perl was bad! ;)
I never thought that Perl is bad. There are some irresponsible Perl programmers, just as there are some irresponsible PHP and Python programmers.
You could try add Perl into your questionnaire.
Advantage: At least as portable as Python. Someone who can have PHP, can have Perl, too.
Advantage: Anyone who knows PHP, knows Perl almost completely.
Not sure whether it's an advantage: Perl has some built-in security features (taint), but i'm not really a security expert.
