[jifty-devel] Template::Declare vs HTML::Mason

[Matt Zagrabelny]

Greetings,

I've read through some of the jifty-devel archives and have grepped the
internet, however I have yet to find out why Template::Delcare (T::D) is
the bees' knees. Why did jifty begin to prefer T::D over Mason?

Thanks,

We like both. Mason is much better for building prose-heavy parts of apps.
T::D is very nice for making reusable components, subclassing, mixing in,
validating at compile time and refactoring.
