Having a templating system in ‘that environment’ is worth its weight in gold IMO. I’ve been switching between Svelte and Django templates a lot lately, and Svelte just…knowing about the DOM, makes the experience so much nicer. I haven’t come across a non-JS template system that does this. And yes, I was there for PHP and jQuery and whatever.


I have to agree, Django templating (last I saw) was stuck somewhere in Web 1.0

Jinja2 is better, but most of the time, I would just build the API and not bother with rendering anything on Django itself


It's just another template engine, we can do the same (components like templates) in any language for years.

Ruby example that Github is using: https://viewcomponent.org/ https://viewcomponent.org/viewcomponents-at-github.html


We've had templating systems on the server-side for many decades?

Do you mean having a javascript templating system maybe? Not really worth it's weight in gold.


I was using ASP with JScript on Microsoft IIS servers back in 1999. So yeah, many decades. :)
