Re: [w3c/webcomponents] [templates] Ensure that template instantiation actually improves the platform (#704)

Hello, I'm new to this discussion, but I'd like to point out that there is no need for special syntax with curly braces to get useful things from templates. I'd like to point out two different template engines based on the same principles each that don't require any template syntax at all:

- https://github.com/pure/pure and https://pure-js.com/
- https://github.com/tmpvar/weld

They both work on the same principles: You define your markup with absolutely no special syntax, custom attributes or anything like that. Then, you define a JSON object on the side that goes with your markup that is telling how to instantiate the markup for a given input data structure.

What I really like from this approach is that you get a clear separation between the markup and the data structure you want to template. From the beginning, web standards is all about separation of concerns, and I believe this approach fits very nicely with that.
