Has anyone been able or at least tried to port Liquid Template Language to C#?

Question

I need to give end-users the ability to securely edit an asp.net mvc web application templates and so far Liquid Template Language seems to be perfect, but it is written in Ruby and porting it seems a too complex task for me as I don't know Ruby... anyone tried to port it to C#? It would be really useful in a lot of situations and I'm going to actively help for what is needed!

Update: I also found out a Javascript version, this should ease the porting enough.

Answer 1

Do you mean DotLiquid? It's a .NET 4.0 port of the Liquid template language for Ruby. The template syntax itself is the same as Liquid, but the .NET code takes advantage of .NET / C# conventions as much as possible. It's obviously open source, same as the original Liquid project.

Disclosure: I wrote DotLiquid (well, I did the C# port from Ruby, anyway). Like the original poster, I also wanted to have access to Liquid template syntax from .NET code. I'm hoping it's useful for other people. Liquid's Ruby source code is very clean, and included a full suite of unit tests, so it made porting quite straightforward. If you do find any bugs, please
