first advice when discussing things on the internet: don't take it personal. I think that Enrique means that having "the same" template language is a non-goal. the "cognitive burden" of two languages is not so heavy; and since these two environments are so different, there would be different considerations that make some features unpractical on one side or the other; or maybe some choice could be "the best" on one and too awkward or badly supported on the other. personally, i mostly agree: i do use templating on JS, and it doesn't look at all like Django templates. That means sometimes i render some things in the server, other things in the front end, and a few things (very few) on both, leading to mostly duplicate code. would it be nice to have some code that works equally well on either side? yes, but it's a relatively small gain. if "using the same language" was so important, we would all be using node.js... -- Javier -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
