once you're used to React all other templating languages suck

not just for frontend webapps, but serverside rendering templating too :>

because they all operate on the basis of just yeeting text together, just replacing variables and concatinating files, and that's NOT HOW STUFF WORKS

lmao a / in a path is an illegal character in the template unless surounded by quotes

gin templating got me fucked up how hard can it be to load a partial from a subdirectory

actually.... it's that the whole template directory reading thing breaks on encountering a directory, how shit is this implementation

YIKES I knew the single . included in *some* of the template inclusion examples was important

because that passes the arguments to the included template

this syntax is fucking ridiculous

there's literally no way they could've made this more obtuse

@f0x I also had a horrible time with the template just trying to write something very simple, so trying to do something more complex than just filling in a few variables? Oof

@dumpsterqueer oh I am *absolutely* not going to do anything more than variable filling here haha
