Type-safe HTML templating in Zig

slopinthebag

one thing i love about rust's macros is that you can accomplish this without needing a separate file type or inventing syntax #[component] pub fn HomePage(user: Option<User>) -> Element { rsx! { Layout { title: "Home", if let Some(u) = user { h1 { "Welcome back, {u.name}!" } a { href: "/users/{u.id}", "Your profile" } } else { h1 { "Welcome, guest!" } a { href: "/login", "Log in" } } } } }

I love the idea! I could imagine something similar created for other languages too. Perhaps written in a way that a template could be reused i, let's say Django, and a JS React frontend. With all the type-safety that tsx provides.

W3C: Why can't we just have <includes src="./header.html"> and be done with it?
