I've been building Shopify themes for the last couple of years. Part of the reason that I've stuck with it so long is that Liquid is really easy to learn. I'm of the opinion that anyone capable of understanding a for loop and if statement can learn the basics of Liquid within a day.
I know there are a few other apps that use Liquid, including one of your competitors. See here for a list: http://github.com/tobi/liquid/wiki http://github.com/tobi/liquid/wiki
From an end-user perspective, I'd highly recommend Liquid. I don't see how you can escape having a template language of some sort, and Liquid seems more thought-out than most.
- johnnycage 16y agoI thought Liquid was created by Shopify, so apologies for that! Didn't realise it was available for others to use. It seems that its just for Ruby / RoR though? We currently use PHP and Python
- joshuacc 16y agoSorry, for some reason I just assumed you were using RoR. Liquid was created by Tobi (CEO) for Shopify, and then extracted as an open source project. It was inspired by Django's template language. Since you're on Python, perhaps you could use the original?
