mstc is a minimal mustache-like template processor. It supports objects, arrays and can even call functions on them - all without using eval or new Function! Placeholders can contain any character except curly braces (that means you can have templates that render into templates).

@tkissing: You're right! That was my bad.
@tsaniel: no worries, that's why I have a bunch of additonal test cases locally ;)
Will update the gist later, your little trick gave me an idea I want to test...

maettig: How did you get that idea? Would have never thought of that...
tsaniel: That is pretty darn clever! Should read
:c[b]:a:a.replacein the middle there to stay compatible with previous versions (if placeholder is not found in data, leave it untouched; your version removes the mustache), but still very nice work. Adding back the coercion ofato a string and the/^f/test for the function it's still 4 bytes shorter! Congratulations!
