One might consider lack of programmatic integration a good thing... presentation vs. logic & all that stuff.

Tenjin appears to be a native template language, seeing that its available for five different host languages. The catch is, native template languages don't integrate with the host language very well - the best you can do is a "namespace" passed from host environment to template, but any kind of programmatic integration is off the table. Trac switched from native ClearSilver templates to Genshi for the same reason.

Good to see the news of SA. :-)

I want to know how Mako compares with Tenjin, though:

"Tenjin is a very fast and full-featured template engine available in several script languages." * http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/

There's a benchmark there showing some comparison numbers so where's the catch?

nah its more like the time has come to clean up a lot of old crap. the mass insert bench was a little bit of a wakeup call. your tests were helpful in identifying some newer code in 0.4 that needed to be simplified.

I musta lit a fire, huh? ;) Or were you already working on performance issues? Good to see the pace of improvement! Maybe I should send my Storm data to Gustavo?
