Savant Vs Smarty - Next php-pro podcast !
I'm excited to see the next PHP-Pro podcast, Paul M. Jones posted on his blog some notes about it, where he talk about Savant, his templating engine, the failed PEAR proposal and a comparisons to Smarty.
I find the idea of Savant really interesting since it use the PHP templating engine, so you don't have to learn a new markup langage. But sinceraly didn't yet find time to give it a try, neither smarty. I'm still using my own template engine with assign for single variable, the faster templating engine ever ! I didn't need more, but I'm planning to explore more in templating programming just by adding few features without loosing performance.
Template engines is still the topic that don't have a single answer, lot of solutions that could be used, and every solution have its advantages and disadvantages depending of applications needs : more performance, more features ...
