JavaScript templating libraries are such a joke.

Either they:

- Totally change the syntax of HTML (Which? would make them? Not a templating engine? But their own shitty markup language?)
- Are already deprecated (And the new version isn't done yet!)
- Both

    I found success in the past with EJS, did literally everything i wanted but judging by their main website being down i have no clue if they are still a viable option or not

    @AleCx04 that's what I'm using atm when templates make more sense than XHR. But yeah.

    Many years ago when I started Node, this problem was already very potent.

    I rant today because recently I needed to choose a template engine after a few years without one (it just made more sense to use one. Some places, like error pages, should just be generated server-side), the problem was just as bad as day 1. Still no good choice, even after all these years.

    Disappointing.
