"I\'m enamored with Cheetah" - Sam Ruby, senior member of IBM Emerging
|
||
|
Technologies Group & director of Apache Software Foundation
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Give Cheetah a try. You won\'t regret it. ... Cheetah is a truly powerful
|
||
|
system. ... Cheetah is a serious contender for the 'best of breed' Python
|
||
|
templating." - Alex Martelli
|
||
|
|
||
|
"People with a strong PHP background absolutely love Cheetah for being Smarty,
|
||
|
but much, much better." - Marek Baczynski
|
||
|
|
||
|
"I am using Smarty and I know it very well, but compiled Cheetah Templates with
|
||
|
its inheritance approach is much powerful and easier to use than Smarty." -
|
||
|
Jaroslaw Zabiello
|
||
|
|
||
|
"There is no better solution than Cheetah" - Wilk
|
||
|
|
||
|
"A cheetah template can inherit from a python class, or a cheetah template, and
|
||
|
a Python class can inherit from a cheetah template. This brings the full power
|
||
|
of OO programming facilities to the templating system, and simply blows away
|
||
|
other templating systems" - Mike Meyer
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Cheetah has successfully been introduced as a replacement for the overweight
|
||
|
XSL Templates for code generation. Despite the power of XSL (and notably XPath
|
||
|
expressions), code generation is better suited to Cheetah as templates are much
|
||
|
easier to implement and manage." - The FEAR development team

|
"I\'ve used Cheetah quite a bit and it\'s a very good package" - Kevin Dangoor,
|
||
|
lead developer of TurboGears.
