I actually wrote a JavaScript code generator for Jinja, which allows you to use the Jinja parser and AST and generate pretty readable and fairly sane JavaScript code (for a pretty large subset of full Jinja). I actually used this in my startup (now long dead) where we were able to reuse quite a lot of template code both on the server and the client. https://github.com/djc/jasinja https://github.com/djc/jasinja This is in some (conceptual/experiential) ways a precursor to my recent attempt to create a Rusty Jinja-like, which tries hard to take the best ideas from Jinja and mash it up with the best ideas from Rust: https://github.com/djc/askama https://github.com/djc/askama
