Now that I’ve played around with EJS for a while, I can say I’m fairly comfortable with it, and love the syntax. It just makes sense to me.

I’ll get to what that was in a little bit. First, let’s look at some JAML syntax:

Had a little time to kill between tasks a few weeks ago, and Googled to see if I could find a solution to all these dreaded string-concatenations I was finding throughout pieces of our Javascript codebase at work.
