Mustache (template system)
open-in-new
<p>Mustache is a <a href="/facts/Web_template_system/zWstHsCF">web template system</a>. It is described as a <i>logic-less</i> system because it lacks any explicit <a href="/facts/Control_flow/2XTDfErC">control flow</a> statements, like if and else <a href="/facts/Conditional_(computer_programming)/8gDQTqUD">conditionals</a> or <a href="/facts/For_loop/cwV2nRzp">for loops</a>; however, both looping and conditional evaluation can be achieved using section tags processing <a href="/facts/List_(abstract_data_type)/9tzhAH6M">lists</a> and <a href="/facts/Anonymous_function/2vdyE4zL">anonymous functions</a> (lambdas). It is named "Mustache" because of heavy use of <a href="/facts/Bracket/yzGM9J8A">braces</a>, { }, that resemble a sideways <a href="/facts/Moustache/7I0jeew4">moustache</a>. Mustache is used mainly for mobile and web applications. </p><p><a href="/facts/Implementation/IH1KXgP3">Implementations</a> are available in <a href="/facts/ActionScript/xtDQb0wR">ActionScript</a>, <a href="/facts/C%252B%252B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a>, <a href="/facts/Clojure/3JRNxKXx">Clojure</a>, <a href="/facts/CoffeeScript/S8U53Pxy">CoffeeScript</a>, <a href="/facts/ColdFusion/4WB5vcA2">ColdFusion</a>, <a href="/facts/Common_Lisp/mq1pRbSF">Common Lisp</a>, <a href="/facts/Crystal_(programming_language)/1JgGPFdm">Crystal</a>, <a href="/facts/D_(programming_language)/4qIzRjkF">D</a>, <a href="/facts/Dart_(programming_language)/xJ8tE6Tl">Dart</a>, <a href="/facts/Delphi_(software)/sUFUXQ8r">Delphi</a>, <a href="/facts/Elixir_(programming_language)/vX1J3cgf">Elixir</a>, <a href="/facts/Erlang_(programming_language)/2PuxmzT3">Erlang</a>, <a href="/facts/Fantom_(programming_language)/pgpD7oBN">Fantom</a>, <a href="/facts/Go_(programming_language)/oWlsmAFJ">Go</a>, <a href="/facts/Haskell_(programming_language)/4Htv9WLu">Haskell</a>, <a href="/facts/Io_(programming_language)/06xtsq15">Io</a>, <a href="/facts/Java_(programming_language)/9ScgFyAL">Java</a>, <a href="/facts/JavaScript/XhhIIEsl">JavaScript</a>, <a href="/facts/Julia_(programming_language)/AoB0PJ9C">Julia</a>, <a href="/facts/Lua_(programming_language)/xkBCgta0">Lua</a>, <a href="/facts/.NET_Framework/J6QDAUhP">.NET</a>, <a href="/facts/Objective-C/5mM557BW">Objective-C</a>, <a href="/facts/OCaml/ThBGLND8">OCaml</a>, <a href="/facts/Perl/fx31kjlT">Perl</a>, <a href="/facts/PHP/vU6YRJX0">PHP</a>, <a href="/facts/Pharo/E6BA3bwE">Pharo</a>, <a href="/facts/Python_(programming_language)/YbuGqofa">Python</a>, <a href="/facts/R_(programming_language)/LSrkr8K8">R</a>, <a href="/facts/Racket_(programming_language)/5n7LW08b">Racket</a>, <a href="/facts/Raku_(programming_language)/9eYW7vRJ">Raku</a>, <a href="/facts/Ruby_(programming_language)/BeYSaPSR">Ruby</a>, <a href="/facts/Rust_(programming_language)/8JNMV19F">Rust</a>, <a href="/facts/Scala_(programming_language)/ebL8o6AK">Scala</a>, <a href="/facts/Smalltalk/Ru2UPVDE">Smalltalk</a>, <a href="/facts/Swift_(programming_language)/A7qHQC32">Swift</a>, <a href="/facts/Tcl/s7fbKYtR">Tcl</a>, <a href="/facts/CFEngine/dIvWXpH6">CFEngine</a>, and <a href="/facts/XQuery/47Ep0fSS">XQuery</a>. </p>
