One of my favorite aspects of ErlTL templates is that the controller
can pass them closures, which the view uses to "lazily" evaluate its
data. I wrote a whole tutorial about this here:
http://yarivsblog.com/articles/2007/02/23/erlyweb-tutorial-life-in-the-intersection-of-fp-and-dynamic-html/.
This feature is so great that I would have to use a template language
that doesn't let me use closures.

Best,
