I'd suggest you wait for the 1.5 update and then we attack this!
If it's something that should be handled by Tale Jade natively, it should be a PR, if not it should be an own repository (e.g. bridges to other libraries/frameworks) So it will probably be an own repository.
If you like you can add it as an own repository and create a PR for the Readme. The API won't change with 1.5 (it will be extended, tho).
On a second guess, can you tell me what exactly you mean?
I was about to implement a :twig
and :haml
filter so that you can process Twig and HAML with Tale Jade (optionally).
I don't know if this is really needed, but it is possible haha
I want to create new compiler that create a Twig template. For example, the jade template
ul
- for article in articles if article.published is true
li= article.name
would be transformed into
<ul>
{% for article in articles if article.published is true %}
<li>{{ article.name }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Jade would be a preprocessor for Twig. Look at https://github.com/arnaud-lb/MtHaml.
I wouldn't suggest that.
Look what Tale Jade can handle natively, without any fancy Twig-Syntax:

Tale Jade Block Expansion is different from official Jade's. It can handle all kinds of statements.
If you need a :
in the expression, you can surround the expression with brackets
if ($x ? $x : $y): if ($z): p= $something
Block Expansion works as many levels deep as you got memory and recursion limit :)
Jade is made for PHTML, it would be possible to write a Twig-compiler, but it would be the same as writing a JavaScript-transpiler that transpiles JavaScript into CoffeeScript and expects you to run the CoffeeScript haha
If you want to create that compiler, of course, it's your choice to do so and I'll support it :)
If you think Jade's syntax is more lightweight than Twig's, just use Tale Jade alone, without Twig and tell your friends to do the same ;)
Can this be closed or do you have any further questions?
I am waiting for a new version. I will create a PR.
Great work! I would like to add a compiler for Twig, like MtHaml. Should I create a new project or PR for this repository?
