Question

After reading this Micro templates are dead article. I\'ve become curious:

1. Whether Using the DOM on the server results in cleaner more maintainable code then templ

Answer 1

A few come to mind:

1. Sharing views/controllers between server and browser
2. Data mining / crawling / processing
3. Transformation for fragments of HTML used in AJAX/realtime stuff
4. Absolute separation of logic and content by avoiding template tags

And to answer your questions:

1. maybe. A lot of things affect code quality, but it's a step in the right direction
2. nope, templating engines will always be faster, since they can pre-compile templates
3. this probably warrants a new question?
