What is Slim Lang?

Slim is a template language whose goal is to reduce the view syntax to the essential parts without becoming cryptic. It started as an exercise to see how much could be removed from a standard html template (<, >, closing tags, etc...). As more people took an interest in Slim, the functionality grew and so did the flexibility of the syntax.
Slim Lang is a tool in the Templating Languages & Extensions category of a tech stack.
Slim Lang is an open source tool with 5.3K GitHub stars and 501 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Slim Lang's open source repository on GitHub
