Dustjs: what about performance?

Question

I like syntax of this template library for JS. I'm going to use it in Node.js script, so, performance is quite important. Have anybody tried this one? (Their web-site works too slow to make me think their library works fast enough :) ).

Answer 1

Live performance comparisons of dust to other templating engines: http://akdubya.github.com/dustjs/benchmark/index.html. It basically blows the other libraries away (Mustache, Handlebars, and jQuery Templates).

If you aren't satisfied with those results, roll your own benchmark.

As for the slowness of the Dust "website" — it's just a github project page. I didn't notice any performance issues with the site.

Answer 2

Simple answer, checkout their benchmarks. The results are pretty staggering.

Answer 3

According to many tests on jsperf such as JavaScript template language shootoff the recommended answers get "blown" away by other template engines. I use doT as it can be customized to use <% %>, <%= %> and <%- %> tags.
