"since templates are evaluated at compile time and hence have restrictions on what they can do" This statement doesn't make any sense. A Lisp program can be fully converted to run at compile time; it'll just be lacking in I/O opportunities.

You do realize that I/O is two thirds of "input, processing, output": what computers do? What app do you use that takes no input? Or produces no output? Let alone both?

Any reasonable compiler will time out before you can do anything too fancy at compile time.
