I’m thinking of using heist for HTML templating.
Is it still maintained?
Have you used it?
What alternatives would you suggest?
I found this useful discussion https://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/4sj6fe/html_templating/
I worked at a place (Formation née Takt) that used in in…2016-18?
It was for a marketing product. The marketer would edit email templates in-browser and get live previews (the app was ghcjs). The email templates had access to all sorts of dynamic user information and to an asset store.
Then we’d send the emails in batches. One important learning there was to at least have per-batch caching of the parsed Heist template(s) used. That part is expensive and making it go from once per email to once per batch was an understandably large throughput improvement. For very little effort! There wasn’t a need to have a persistent cache at all (in-process or hosted like redis).
