Subject: Re: [ANN] Tenjin 0.6.1 - a fast and full-featured template engine

This looks really great !

I have written a pre-processor language for the templates in zena (a
CMS) called zafu. It would be really easy to generate tenjin code
instead of erb.

By looking at the code, I don't understand where the performance boost
comes from. At the end, we have a ruby method, just like with erb, no
?

Could explain why tenjin is faster ?

Is it during compilation ?

Or during execution (which means a compilation that generates faster
ruby code) ?

Thanks for your answer.
