I took some time to read through the architecture document[0] on HTMLbars yesterday and parts of the Blaze description sound very familiar. As a general observation, both libraries are focused on outputting DOM rather than HTML strings, which is interesting for various reasons. Maybe I'm missing some of the history here re: interaction between Meteor & Tilde, but I wonder if HTMLbars could have been useful in building out Blaze had it been in the works sooner?

HTMLBars is an excellent project and indeed does share many design principles with Blaze. They also differ in a few ways. For example, HTMLBars plans to never support full inline expressions in templates, whereas that is an explicit future goal for Blaze. So even though parts of HTMLBars could have been used in Blaze, it wouldn't give us the flexibility needed to take Blaze in the direction we think is best for our users.
[edit: Also, Blaze is shipped. :)]
