substack and bluesky are just newer sites. I don't even think they are bad. Just I question the volume of markup that they use to layout stuff. Knowing that that is the standard.

Do you have examples that are good?

At the time, this was good:

   printf("%d", 10);

It might not hold up to today's standards, but "good" isn't a constant.

    So, no? You don't have any examples by which to demonstrate what a good templating language is?

    You seem to have gone on a tangent that "good" is a general topic in my question. I meant do we have specifically good examples of templates. Surely if we know what good templating syntax is, we can share examples of it? Even if you can't describe it directly.

      I provided a good template language, at least given what was good at the time it was introduced. As good is necessarily a moving target, one can never really satisfy your request as by the time the submission has round-tripped it is quite possible that what is good has already been redefined.

      So, yes, I understand you are trying to call attention to my 'loosey-goosey' usage earlier. But I am saying that when I said "good", it was relative to the temporal position it found itself in.
