1

Parent Wispers project has development in 2010

2

Single commit from non-primary developer, mostly 2010

3

No releases since 2010, but branches have activity in 2011 and parent Kepler project is active

4

Orbit is a complete MVC framework, orbit.htmlify is part of the main module. It could probably be extracted without much difficulty, but not as simply as copying a file or directory

An app written for orbit could also easily use any of these other template libraries

5

HAML does let you embed actual HTML, but discourages it, and most HAML files will have little or no “normal” HTML

6

Looks a lot like Django, but isn’t really.

7

Tir is a complete framework, but the view.lua module looks like it can be used by itself
