What's wrong with "boilerplate with code-generator"?

For smaller sites, the number of parts often isn't huge, so boilerplate isn't a big deal.

I probably don't understand what you mean.

Generating code in a Turing-complete language use a program written in another Turing-complete language can get messy.

I mean scaffolding.

Just because something is turing complete doesn't mean that a generator has to be able to generate anything possible.

If boilerplate is an issue, scaffolding / code generators can be a quick fix.

Can I have intercooler do that scaffolding for me?
