Yesterday I met with Harry Fuecks and his charming daughter for a coffee. Besides talking about a lot of different stuff (PEAR, PHP5, XUL, Making money with Open Source Software, PHP vs. Java, etc..), he showed me more thoroughly WACT. WACT is quite a different
approach to the usual template engines in PHP and is built with speed and extensibility in mind. According to their webpage it's not only that but āa modular patterns based framework for creating high performance web applicationsā. I hope, I can look into it deeper some time in the near future, it certainly looks interesting.
Unfortunatly, there is no release yet, so you have to download it from CVS. Although, setting the examples up is no problem after that.
Update: There's more about our meeting at Harry's Blog and I unfortunately missed to moblog themā¦
