I am just trying Templ. I like what I am seeing for the most part. There are some tooling ergonomics to work out. Lots of "suddenly the editor things everything is an error and nothing will autoimport or format" back to mostly working. Click to definition goes to the autogenerated code instead of the templ file. Couple things like that. But soooooooooo much better to deal with code gen than html/template. That thing is a pita

What’s so bad about html/template?

passing data to templates that call templates that (maybe call other templates that) use the data. It is easy to call things in the wrong order, not provide the right values, think you have access to some data and totally don't, there is no type help, there is a bit of ceremony to get functions available, and I'm sure there is something else I'm forgetting. Just overall, a pain to work with.

So far, I'm enjoying in Templ that I can clearly see what arguments and types are passed to whichever views/partials and that I can simply use standard Go functions to do whatever I need them to do.
