smarty

Good to see that, in addition to all the smarty-pants stuff, he likes to run and skate.

Use Twig or Smarty or whatever you want - You don't have to use Eloquent.

I won't start using Smarty because of that, but those sound like valid reasons for bigger projects.

This is a fascinating story about a smug smarty pants being outsmarted!

I tend to like using the templating engines (twig/smarty) to separate my html from my logic.

I have a template library that is like smarty only less weird (and much less code).

I read it as referring to a templating engine such as Smarty (for PHP).

I remember rolling my own using smarty long ago, because I couldn't decide.

I don't see any real difference in using a) <?php foreach($key as $val):?> or b) {foreach from=$myArray item=foo} To me the Smarty abstraction is pointless.

For example, my websites were a mess until I used smarty.

The problems solved by Smarty could be solved simply with a single try-catch block around the rendering-kickoff logic (that forwards to a nice 500 error page if something happens), and a convention to not do any business-layer stuff within the templates.

Why make it even worse with your smarty pants "advice"?

Once upon a time, "trolling" meant going on a Usenet newsgroup, posting something that contained an incorrect statement about Star Trek (for example), and seeing if anyone was enough of a smarty pants to flame you for it.

The big assumptions are "we leave it to the reader to proof this trivial fact" No Mr Smarty Pants, pls assume the reader is a 17 year girl who cannot send an email ( if you want to attract young people please understand their mindset first ).

It says, "if you argue better than I do, I might just have to let my gun do the talking, so keep your mouth shut smarty pants." So I think libertarians are idiots and not to be trusted, especially if they're armed.

Smarty has many security features built in so designers won't breach security, whether intentional or accidental.

If no knowledge in Smarty, PHP expertise required.

I remember some years ago, I needed to quickly prototype a proof of concept php project, and the first thing I did was find a django templating library for php; simply because I was lazy to learn back Smarty's syntax.
