> Templating does not require eval. I don't recall saying it did.
I think you misunderstood what I said. I was musing about implementing PHP-style templating in Clojure, and I was wondering whether it was possible to avoid calling eval on each render. Someone has implemented PHP-style templating in Clojure: http://www.brool.com/index.php/a-modest-proposal And he does have some eval's in there: http://github.com/brool/gulliver/blob/master/template-servlet.clj But my Clojure knowledge isn't yet good enough to tell me whether he's using eval only once or on every render? - Greg On Feb 4, 2010, at 8:09 PM, Richard Newman wrote: >> Enlive has to reconstruct HTML from its data structures.
