Askama vs Mustache: What are the differences?

Developers describe Askama as "Type-safe, compiled Jinja-like templates for Rust". It implements a template rendering engine based on Jinja. It generates Rust code from your templates at compile time based on a user-defined struct to hold the template's context. On the other hand, Mustache is detailed as "Logic-less templates". Mustache is a logic-less template syntax. It can be used for HTML, config files, source code - anything. It works by expanding tags in a template using values provided in a hash or object. We call it "logic-less" because there are no if statements, else clauses, or for loops. Instead there are only tags. Some tags are replaced with a value, some nothing, and others a series of values.

Askama and Mustache can be primarily classified as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.

Mustache is an open source tool with 14.1K GitHub stars and 2.36K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Mustache's open source repository on GitHub.
