3 weeks ago, I discussed template engine with Goro Fuji(a.k.a Xslate

In the process, I noticed D does not have template engine library.
So I wrote the D version of Mustache.

Mustache is a logic-less template.

Implementing this library was nice for a change.
P.S.
I don't test on Windows and 64bit Linux...

String templates, nice! This would help a lot with generating e.g.
dynamic web pages.
Thanks!
How does it compare to Terence Parr's StringTemplate engine?
I never used StringTemplate, so I can't compare Mustache with
StringTemplate correctly.
StringTemplate seems to be standard template that has many features, but
I did not mostly use such features in Ruby.
I think Mustache features enough to use general cases(ctemplate is a good
example too).
Logic-less approach is safety and makes template file more simple, but it
is trade-off.
In a subjective answer, I like "{{#list}}" than "$foreach n in names$".
Of course, I think we need StringTemplate-like library for complex cases.
