> support for its templating language is scarce

Hello, i would say there's a few missing template features in Zola (especially hashmap literals/functions) but i don't find it scarce. Could you elaborate with your painpoints so they can be addressed for others as well?

Zola is constantly evolving for the better, and the community forums are also a good place to exchange feedback/criticism

The Tera template language is not in wide use, so multi-language integrations with HTML were non-existent when I checked. That's tremendously inconvenient.

Well there is only a single Rust implementation for the moment, but tera templates are really similar to jinja (only difference i know is usage of named arguments in filters/functions).

If i may, what's your usecase?

Just an ordinary static website. Some standalone pages, some blogging posts. I can take another look at Zola and see if I've changed my mind -- the speed really is excellent.

zola should be really fit for that, let us know if you encounter any issues

You can compile Tera to WASM if you want but that's the only solution if you want to use Tera templates outside of Rust.

As mentioned, it is _extremely_ similar to Jinja2 in Python, a good number of Jinja2 templates should be valid Tera and vice-versa.
