// this is an example of what the first pass at native (fab) templates will look like:
with ( require( "fab" ) ) fab
( listen, 0xFAB )
( /\// )
( /1/ )
( "This is a template with no variables: a unary app" )
( /2/ )
( "This is a template with {{1}} variable: a binary app." )
( "one" )
( /3/ )
( "This is a template with {{1}} variables: a {{2}} app." )
( "two" )
( "ternary" )
( /4/ )
( "You can even {{1}} them!" )
( "{{1}} and {{2}}" )
( "mix" )
( "match" )

it's possible, but the good news is that like most overly-indented code, writing inline functions in (fab) gets awkward really fast. hopefully that'll be enough of a deterrent.

with ( isaacs ) i.am(); is probably better tho.

Wouldn't that shirt just say that I'm with myself?

This looks like BS to me. BuildSugar that is. My crazy template experiment.
I'm still not exactly sure if this code style is horrifying or fabulous.

Code: https://gist.github.com/278016/5f3ad4785929905871c4d87826c32bd3f8cff064#file_build_sugar.usage.js

What if you want a template with more than 2 variables?

the template app actually creates an n-ary app, where n = the highest variable number + 1.
