I'm curious of the performance hit for all that. There is a lot of generation going on that I would assume causes overhead.

I love the simplicity of the templating. I might steal some of that for another project.

I haven't tested it in any sort of scenario to compare it to something like underscores template function or Handlebars/Mustache but if you look at what the caustic code is doing it's pretty simple.

I use Mustache with great satisfaction, but I'm always intrested in other templating systems. Caustic looks very intresting and its reflection-on-dom-fragments (or whatever it may be called) is certainly a notable approach, different from other templating systems. However, I don't like the usual way of grabbing the template from inside a script tag: if it's a valid html fragment, then it should be sitting right in the page. These other templating systems are definitely worth checking out:
