Mustache templating system for PHP

Hrm, I can't say I'm that excited by this; does it have any advantages over Smarty or any of the other template systems out there?<p>Edit: Although I must confess I like the name, new Mustache() indeed!

I'm a little fuzzy on the concept of using template libraries inside PHP. What's the advantage over just using PHP in the first place?

This looks like a template language that I would use. And I like good PHP stuff showing on HN every once in a while.

Yet another solution for a problem that doesn't exist...<p>All these do is make the PHP template SMALLER. It's still JUST as complicated. {{#in_ca}} is just as complicated as &#60;?php $in_ca? x : y ?&#62;, it's just smaller. Passing this off to someone who can only do html, it might make it slightly easier for them to read, but honestly if they can't figure out how to stay away from PHP tags (or understand the minimal amount they will need to to do front end work) they shouldn't even be doing front end.<p>I can't imagine investing the time to learn or switch unless it can do something pretty spectacular, missing something?<p>Oh, and yeah cool name. Ironic hipster etc. yay.
