In plain words

Nunjucks is a JavaScript templating system inspired by Jinja2 that helps developers generate dynamic content. It is designed for anyone building web applications who needs a template engine with familiar syntax and robust functionality. The tool stands out by bringing Jinja2's proven templating approach to the JavaScript ecosystem, making it accessible to developers already familiar with that style of templating.

    Blueprint: Fast, Nunjucks-like templating engine for Java 8 and beyond2025 · ▲21

    I love the simplicity, expressibility and extendibility of Nunjucks. But I was not able to find something with similar for Java, especially with the same syntax. So, built one. And it's pretty fast too. https://github.com/freakynit/Blueprint

Once I was done, I decided to strip out `staticjinja` in favour of my own site generator. And so Jinjabread was born!

  • Mizu.js – Lightweight HTML templating library for any-side rendering2024 · mizu.sh · ▲225

    Hey HN, I'd like to share a fun project I've been working on: mizu.js. It's a js library that add functional attributes support into your html, designed to be a simple and flexible alternative to fully-fledged web frameworks (such as Vue, React, and Angular), while offering more capabilities than other lightweight options (like Alpine.js and htmx). As it's written using modern ES features and due to its isomorphic nature, it can be run in both browsers and runtimes (Node, Deno, Bun) without any changes.

    Build progressively enhanced reactive HTML apps using Go and Alpine.js2023 · livefir.fly.dev · ▲127

    Fir leverages Golang’s standard library html/template package and a bit of alpinejs to allow building reactive UIs. You start with plain old html and use alpinejs to enhance it to bring no-page-reload interactivity to web apps. The Fir toolkit is designed for Go developers with moderate html/css & js skills who want to progressively build reactive web apps without mastering complex web frameworks. It includes a Go library and an Alpine.js plugin. How it works ? On receiving user-interactions the fir server re-renders html templates and sends it over the wire where the fir client…
