Hi!
A month back a Texo user asked me on the newsgroup about the speed of Texo code generation. His proposal was to use xtend2 as the template technology as it is much faster. As often with proposals and ideas, it takes a while, but then suddenly, motivation and time come together and coding starts.
So from today Texo as a default uses xtend2 as a templating technology. This indeed gives a considerable speed increase!
The nice thing is that I managed to still keep the great feature of allowing overriding and/or extending of templates within a development project. You can do this using xpand templates. So the base standard part of Texo uses fast xtend2, if you want to override/extend you use xpand. This is also nice for backward compatibility as your current xpand overriding/extending templates will work fine!
Thanks for reading and I hope this blog post helps to give Texo a try. Visit the Texo wiki for more information. Let me know if you have any questions or remarks on the EMFT newsgroup or forum!
