Replace Markaby?

[judofyr]

Currently Parkaby only works on MRI 1.8, and it would require quite a lot of work to make it work everywhere else. When I reach that goal, we might consider discussing it more, but Markaby will always work while it's kinda hairy when Parkaby has to extract templates from a .rb-file (as opposed to just read a template file).

I would love to see Camping support Erector. Erector is a library inspired by Markaby and maintained by a loving family of developers. I don't think replacing Markaby in 2.0 would shatter any dreams since Erector stays true to the spirit of Markaby, if not its syntax.

Don't get me wrong, I love Markaby (and Parkaby all the more), but I think Erector is really tractable. It's not as meta and not as brittle. I like that they're trying a few new things. Most of all, I like that it's free. We don't have to split a Campers time maintaining that aspect of the code (I don't know how judofyr finds the time as it is).

Give Erector a whirl in Camping using Erector::Mixin and replacing "mab" with "erector".

Indeed, Erector is awesome (super-fast too), but let's try to see if we can integrate some of Erector's ideas before we make the change.

I have commit access to Markaby now (and I can release gems), so I might try to clean it up a bit.

Done.
