(tl;dr DOM builders like [domo][domo] trump HTML templates on the client.)

Like all web developers, I've used a lot of template engines. Like most, I've also written a few of them, some of which even [fit in a tweet][140].

The first open-source code I ever wrote was also one of the the first template engines for node.js, [a port][node-tmpl] of the mother of all JavaScript template engines, [John Resig][jresig]'s [micro-templates][tmpl]. Of course, these days you can't swing a dead cat without hitting a template engine; one in eight packages on npm ([2,220][npm templates] of 16,226 as of 10/19) involve templates.

John's implementation has since evolved and [lives on in Underscore.js][underscore], which means it's the default choice for templating in Backbone.js. And for a while, it's all I would ever use when building a client-side app.

But I can't really see the value in client-side HTML templates anymore.

Setup new Mac with OSX Lion from scratch.

These commands are good as of 2012-03-18.

Install Xcode 4

The download/install takes a while so start it first. When it finishes downloading you will still need to run it to complete installation.

Note: Make sure you install the XCode Command Line Tools after XCode is done installing. To do this go to Xcodes -> Preferences -> Downloads -> Command Line Tools -> Install. If you don't you might not be able to install brew packages (i.e. brew install wget will fail).*

• Thanks to Rico for posting the fix (http://ricochen.wordpress.com/2012/02/18/installing-git-on-mac-os-x-lion-through-homebrew-error-fix/)
