Switch from mustache.js to wontache?

[robinmetral]

Mustache.js hasn't had a release for a while, which is not a problem in itself (mustache is stable and feature-complete, and a spec-conforming engine should not need many releases).

However, there were several new additions to the mustache spec recently, most notably a series of "optional modules" such as inheritance (blocks and parents, implemented in mustache/spec#38) and lambdas.

One active member of the mustache community (and author of the inheritance module) has been working on a new JavaScript, spec-compliant, wonderfully-named mustache engine: wontache. It's still under development but seems stable enough for this project to start using it.

In its own words, in comparison to Mustache.js:

Wontache is much more accurate at indentation handling, substantially faster and committed to adhere to the official specification.

The wontache codebase is hosted on Gitlab and the repo is here.

Maybe brut sites can start using mustache partials instead of preprocessing their data to format dates
