You are not wrong. Just, here, priority is

1. minimalism 2. ease of use

It's an uneasy balance. I am well aware of the value of fully-powered templating engines.

For the record, I love this project's minimalist goal. Having said that, I agree with the other commenter that escaping by default (with an opt-out mechanism) is probably the better choice.

I don't even think this violates your prioritization because it should result in less code when considering an app in its entirety (framework + logic).

Interesting point. Definitely worth considering. Thanks.
