Hello Cambridge Template Engine community,

Has anyone done some comparison between Cambridge and Thymeleaf?
I can imagine this would be a popular FAQ entry on project's github wiki/pages.

Kind regards,
Stevo.

I could be wrong, but Thymeleaf seems to lack Cambridge's template
inheritance mechanism. I've found this feature (or some analogue) to
be mandatory for an even minimally useful template system. Even JSP
has tag files and tag fragments.

Template inheritance and a pluggable EL processor (we use JEXL) are MUST HAVE features and is the reason why Cambridge wins out over everything else out there.
