In fact, a few years ago there was an obvious tide toward experimenting with alternatives to string based templating noticeable in several some high profile efforts in the client side templating space.

See http://modernweb.com/2014/03/24/string-templating-considered... for a recent overview that is pretty decent. Boris Moore did a lot of publishing about it, as I recall.
