Deep dives

Overview of Temple

Temple is a templating library designed for Go that aims to simplify HTML templating and improve the developer experience. It was created due to frustrations with the built-in Go template engine, which lacked features such as auto-completion and had some design limitations. Temple provides a more Go-like syntax for templates, allowing developers to write templates as functions in Go code. It also supports component-based design, making it easier to reuse and share functionality across projects. The goal of Temple is to offer a valid and viable alternative to popular front-end frameworks like React, while still leveraging the power and simplicity of Go.
