@Michael: Have you seen the JSMacro package on hackage? I think it might be a better fit as it adds some nice syntactic goodies to JS in addition to variable interpolation.
I assume you're referring to JMacro, correct? I wasn't able to get it to build at the moment, and even if it *did* build, it has a lot of dependencies, which isn't something I'd like to subject Hamlet users to. Also, probably the most important feature for me in the Javascript templating will be type-safe URLs, which I don't think JMacro supports.
Also, I thought I'd publish the results of the naming survey[1]. Summary: overwhelming support for Cassius, Julius and Mustard. I thought I'd also publish some of the best comments here, please feel free to claim them:
Thank you for replacing some layers of brittle duck tape with good static duct type :)
I hope you don't end up with a mismatch like Camlet and Jsaesar; that would be awkward. Also, I just noticed this, but Camlet might lead to some confusion with the Caml family of languages.
I bathe in the blood of my enemies; eating it would be disgusting!
I'm just running a few compiles to make sure everything went fine, and will then be pushing to github.
