Scalate is a Scala based template engine.
All expressions inside Scalate templates are typesafe and checked at edit/compile time to ensure you don’t leave any mistakes in your pages.
Scalate lets you reuse the concise and expressive power of Scala in your templates rather than using a severely limited expression language which is common in most other template engines. So you can easily reuse Scala’s powerful functions, expressions and pattern matching as well as invoking Scala methods which can use Scala’s XML support to return markup fragments.
Scalate templates generate Scala code which is compiled to fast statically typed bytecode rather than using dynamic dispatch or reflection.
Scalate is free and open source software.
