In plain words

Nunjucks is a templating engine for Node.js that enables developers to build dynamic web pages using inheritance and asynchronous control features. It allows templates to extend and override parent templates, reducing code duplication across pages. The tool supports asynchronous operations, making it suitable for applications that need to handle time-dependent tasks. Nunjucks is designed for web developers and backend engineers who want a flexible, organized approach to managing template code in Node.js projects.

    Colin here, creator of Nub. I’ve had the general shape of this in mind for years. Nub runs your code with stock `node`, augmented with a `--require` preload hook[0] that adds a transpiler (oxc-powered, packaged as a Node-API add-on), registers a module resolution hook[1], and injects polyfills as needed for APIs like `Worker`, `Temporal`, etc. All purely additive, your code ultimately runs using Node’s actual engine & stdlib implementations.

    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…

    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
