I wonder what's the best alternative for server-side template generation on the JVM.
I used FreeMarker on a previous project, it's pretty cool ( http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/ ). There is also mustache.java ( https://github.com/spullara/mustache.java ). I heard about Velocity and StringTemplate, but never tried them out... I guess Groovy Server Pages could also be considered if one's company is open to Grails...
If you need pure Speed + compile-time checked Typesafe, then Japid is the nr.1. Very popular under Play! Framework community. The performance is superior, 2x - 3x better than FreeMarker.

Anything else I should be aware of?
