While learning backend development, Pug was the first template engine I worked with and sure it was cool since it did one of the main things I wanted to do, which is displaying dynamic data to users.
I didn't like pug syntax
Pug's syntax is what I find not too cool, especially the indentation part, Writing my HTML in Pug format was not something I always liked, yes it may be interesting for others.
Trying to manage pug for larger codebase hasn't always been easy for me, So I decided to look for an alternative, that was when I stumbled upon EJS, the simplicity was what I fell in love with.
Reasons I like EJS
- Simple syntax
- Fast Development Time
- you use plain JavaScript in it
Wow, you've come this far, Thanks for reading.
