Hi all,
The last few months I've worked on making a template engine because
the ones out there didn't serve my needs. I guess everybody knows
Smarty and has an opinion on it; I like many things about it, but
dislike many others. The thing I made is called 'Farty' (sorry, I suck
at names) and is in many ways a simpler version of Smarty. It keeps
the good (compiling to php files, clean syntax) and fixes the bad
(having to learn a new language, limited flexibility). I also added
some pretty nifty extensibility features, and I even wrote some docs!
I believe that right now it's just about as powerful as Smarty except
for some missing pre-packaged template functions - otherwise it should
be pretty mature already.
Anyway, I've hesitated for a while because that's the shy guy I am,
but I'd really want some feedback on it now, and see if the PHP
community thinks that this is a project work continuing (and given a
better name, maybe).
As such, any comments, good or bad, either here or on the website,
will be more than appreciated.

Any feedback is very appreciated! 14  1566

I'm a really experienced Smarty user and i must say that i like your
syntax more than the syntax Smarty uses.
I like the tag libary syntax.
I didn't testet Farty but absolute requirements are for me:
1. Good error messages if a compile failed
2. Stability
3. Ability to use objects in the template (not visible in the website or
in the samples)
4. Method chaining
And you shold change the name asap. It's a marketing disaster.

1 is a disaster right now, as basically anything will get compiled,
possibly into erroneous PHP code, resulting in a parse error in the
compiled file. will work on that one.
2 and 3 should be fine, though it's hard to tell about stability of
course
What do you mean by method chaining? Calling one method with the
results of another is possible by definition, because the expression
code is simply PHP code..
>And you shold change the name asap. It's a marketing disaster.
True that, I should. Any suggestions, anyone? I really suck at this,
so stuck with a bad joke. Somehow I'd like to keep a Smarty reference
because of how much it's been inspired by Smarty - without sounding
like a ripoff..
Party?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
