Universal Jinja: a crazy idea for a Python-ready front end

Can someone explain to me why we haven't normalized html templating with a Pug-like syntax (formally Jade)?

My perceived benefits of Pug/Jade:

* Significantly fewer LOC

* Improved Readability

* A lot of existing tooling thanks to its popularity in the NodeJS community

Probably just the cost of making high-quality ports of Pug in every language.

It seems to me like headless browsing (now in Node) will make it pretty easy to construct your page using the DOM directly on the server without scattered logic and DSLs.

So I'm thinking what the heck is pug?, and looked it up.

Looks to be "haml with templating" in a single language. Great idea.

Vuejs can be configured to use pug.
