I wan't involved with the project at the time but I can suppose it was because:
- Kajiki didn't exist at the time, so it wasn't a candidate - TurboGears always had the feature of a validated template engine able to detect errors at compile time (since version 1), so Mako and Jinja were not candidates as they do not they validate template structure nor provide i18n for tags content. - TG1 was born on Kid, Genshi was meant as a successor to Kid, so it was the best candidate for TG2 ( http://genshi.edgewall.org/wiki/GenshiFaq#SothenwhynotjustuseKid ) On Thu, Nov 19, 2015 at 3:35 AM, Robert James Liguori <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi there, > > Another question... > > 'just curious, why was Genshi chosen as the default templating tool over > Jinaj2, Mako and Kajiki? > > Thanks, > Robert > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "TurboGears" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/turbogears. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TurboGears" group.
