Templates are the best kind of tool: simple to write and implement, but powerful enough to make your architecture slicker and your code leaner. Getting markup out of your Javascript is a huge deal, but templates can help with more than that. They can manage repeated code snippets, allow you to deftly switch states in single page applications, and help keep your code DRY when supporting users with and without Javascript enabled. Using and extending them creatively can make any architecture a little awesomer.

Barrow’s Super-Ego was standing on his Ego’s shoulders and bellowing through the air vent to the bridge, “We are in big trouble unless you do something, you hairy oaf! Fight or flight!
