Major differences I've seen are:
#if, #unless, #with, and #each {{this}} in blocks (which outputs the current item's string value)Handlebars.SafeString() (and maybe some other methods)if !x ...)(Please correct me if I'm wrong with the above.)
Are there any other major differences I am missing?

Mustache can be used for HTML, config files, and source code. It works by expanding tags in a template using values provided in a hash or object. You can use Mustache to render templates anywhere include client side and server side environments.
In general, the syntax of Handlebars. js templates is a superset of Mustache templates. For basic syntax, check out the Mustache manpage.
Handlebars. js is a Javascript library used to create reusable webpage templates. The templates are combination of HTML, text, and expressions. The expressions are included in the html document and surrounded by double curly braces.
js is self-described as: Handlebars. js is an extension to the Mustache templating language created by Chris Wanstrath.
You've pretty much nailed it, however Mustache templates can also be compiled.
Mustache is missing helpers and the more advanced blocks because it strives to be logicless. Handlebars' custom helpers can be very useful, but often end up introducing logic into your templates.
Mustache has many different compilers (JavaScript, Ruby, Python, C, etc.). Handlebars began in JavaScript, now there are projects like django-handlebars, handlebars.java, handlebars-ruby, lightncandy (PHP), and handlebars-objc.
