  Sun Jan 08 14:04:10 2012 MITHALDU [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: please replace Template::Toolkit with Text::Xslate
Text::Xslate supports most of the feature set of TT, has no egregious dependencies, faster startup, faster processing, a better API and most importantly: Detailed error messages. It's author is available on IRC and responds quickly and it also has a big and detailed test suite, which seems to run fine on most systems: http://matrix.cpantesters.org/? dist=Text-Xslate-1.5007 Template::Toolkit on the other hand has not been updated since 2009 and its author has publicly said he has no interest in updating it at all, since he has been busy writing TT3 since then; the development of which has seemingly stalled if the github repo is any indication. As such i'd say it seems most sensible to replace TT with Xslate.

Too many people use Template::Toolkit to justify replacing it with something else. I'm sure adding Text::Xslate would be an option, but replacing T::T would be like asking everyone to just throw away their mod_perl setups. It's just too prevalent.

As discussed in #plack (perhaps not the best place for it; take further discussion to #epo-ec), we won't be removing TT immediately. There will be a deprecation process established at OPW by which we will phase out older modules after adding their suggested replacements. Also, I would like to point out that nothing is stopping anyone from adopting TT and giving it the features that Xslate or any other templating engine has. -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren

TT2 has a killer feature which (as far as I'm aware) Text::Xslate does not: Jemplate. This allows the same templates to be used from Javascript as from Perl, personally I find it a huge benefit when developing websites. No objection to adding Text::Xslate if there's demand from it, but -1 from me on the TT2 removal; instead, could we get Jemplate added to the list? cheers, Tom

Surely "prevalence" isn't a criterion for inclusion in this distribution, but rather its usefulness in the context of a Modern Perl? Take your example - I wouldn't put mod_perl into Task::Kensho no matter how many people were using it.
