I'm a big fan of logic-less templating systems, I've used logic-less templating systems, I've written a logic-less templating system and this is no logic-less templating system. It does a nice job of making the logic seem less obtrusive, but it is not without logic.

You can't completely remove logic from the view, but you can enforce LESS logic. In other words, you are not free to dump a lot of code into the view, there are restrictions.

This is term is used by Mustache as well. http://mustache.github.com/
If you are using rails and are accustomed to using jade for templating, or the jade-style flavor of scalate, this is the template engine for you.
