The most famous JS template engine of the early 2000 used to be literally called "mustache" because of it: https://mustache.github.io/ https://mustache.github.

  Your reply continues the trend of factual sloppiness. Mustache is not the “most famous”, not “JS”, and not “of the early 2000[s]”. Mustache is a Ruby library from 2009. Here’s the first commit https://github.com/mustache/mustache/commit/6ee6bcf21d3815545300b484c927d13a067fc7cc https://github.com/mustache/mustache/commit/6ee6bcf21d381554... But more to the point, someone calling their template library “mustache” because a curly brace has a vaguely mustache-like shape doesn’t remotely imply that people regularly call curly braces “mustaches” or would have any idea what “mustache” meant in the context of someone pronouncing their computer code.
