NDjango: Django templates in .NET

• nathanwdavis 17y ago
  You can use this for your Views in ASP.NET MVC. I like it a lot better than the default ViewEngine and better than the popular Spark engine, because it separates markup from template constructs better and it also has Django's awesome set of filters. Very cool.

  That's really funny, if there is one thing that I would like to see improved in Django it is the templates.

    Wouldn't it be lovely to have Zope-like templates in Django? BTW, are the licenses compatible?

  I trialled this a while ago. Whilst good in principle, you lose a lot of the power of the web forms view engine, particularly with the strong-typing of hyperlinks and routing integration. Not only that, it's written in F# which no-one can maintain effectively as noone (affordable) knows it.

  I, for one, welcome a django-like templates for .net -- Especially since it's open source. I looked for exactly this half a year ago, and couldn't find anything. I ended up writing my own template language, which i never would have done if there was a good option out there already. I'll probably open source my template language also, just in case anybody finds it usefull. It's actually one of the bad things about .net: the open source community is much smaller than for other languages. Usually when you need something (like a nice template language), you have some commercial options and very few open source projects -- if any -- that hopefully are still maintained and up to date.
