Excellent!
Mustache is broadly used in the JS world (both web and node). I wonder what do you use it for.
At the moment mostly for generating SOAP requests :) But I often have template-like stuff for what I'm hacking something stupid together. I thought it should come to an end.
I'd love an extension to the syntax to deal with JSON like structures (it is scalars, arrays and dictionaries). :)
What have those to do with the syntax? Can you elaborate on that?

I like to announce my smalltalk port of mustache templates.
Mustache is a popular templating engine that is supported in many programming languages. I know at least that is quite common to be used
in
javascript but see at the languages it supported yourself [1].
A basic usage is something like (just paste it to workspace after loading Mustache):
--- templateString := 'Hello {{name}}, this is {{templatingEngine}} for {{recipient}}. {{# cheerUp }} Have fun! {{/ cheerUp }}'.
context := { 'name' -> 'pharo community'. 'templatingEngine' -> 'mustache'. 'recipient' -> 'you'. 'cheerUp' -> true } asDictionary. templateString asMustacheTemplate value: context ---
Context objects can be Dictionaries or regular objects. It is also easy to feed via json e.g. using NeoJSON
templateString asMustacheTemplate value: (NeoJSONReader fromString: â¦)
I wrote a blog article about it and the usage in smaltlalk on my blog [2]. The code I have just released on smalltalkhub [3]. Documentation about the syntax to use is available under [4]. To load it do
Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'NorbertHartl' project: 'Mustache'; configurationOf: 'Mustache'; loadStable.
The code is not very old so there might be bugs (this is supposed to be the standard disclaimer). If you find something not working as expected just drop me a note. The engine produces at the moment more whitespaces than you can see in the examples. I need to figure out the rule first and will release a new version. Nevertheless I consider it useful by now. But you decide and hopefully give me feedback.
