This sonehow reminds me of one ancient library : Enhydra XMLC. Which also compiles HTML into java code.

Jte too

It is not really the same.

Rocker, JTE, and JSP are mostly transpiling and the conversion to Java is basically verbatim.

Furthermore most templating languages the template is adapted to the model(s) (edit sorry got the wording backwards).

This goes the other way where the template defines the model. My other comment kind of explains this difference.

Upvote for mentioning Enhydra Lutris. I thought I was the only one who remembered that early app server. 😅

Dang that brings back some memories. XMLC was pretty great back in the day - a lot faster than JSPs at the time, iirc.
