[Caml-list] [ANN] Snabela 1.0: Logic-less @templates@

[Malcolm Matalka]

Snabela 1.0 is released today (thanks to Anil for several back and
forths).

Snabela is a logic-less template system loosely based on Mustache but
attempting to fix some issues I had with Mustache.  To install Snabela
simply do:

opam install snabela

Snabela is a spec, a library, and a CLI tool to evaluate templates.

Some features Snabela has:

- It supports applying arbitrary transformers to the values being
  replaced.  This is useful for ensuring values are escaped,
  representing numeric values as money, applying locales, capitalizing
  text, etc.

- Like Mustache, it has sections for iterating over lists and
  conditionally applying a portion of a template.

- Unlike Mustache, Snabela is strict-by-default, in that a missing
  value, or the wrong type in a test is an error.

- Snabela supports escaping the template code, which is @ by doing @@.

- Snabela is meant to be implementable in a wide array of languages and
  the language is meant to be small.
