Actually Cosmo also draws from some of the ideas in Parr's work on
StringTemplate (strict separation of view code, "functional" template
expansion, probably others, it has been a while since I have read the
papers). I think the main difference (and main limitation of Cosmo) is
that Cosmo subtemplates are all "inline" in the same template file,
though in actual use I fix that with import-like template selectors.
By contrast, lua-CodeGen doesn't allow "inline" subtemplate.
So a template is splited in small chunk.
I think that Cosmo & lua-CodeGen don't differ in term of features,
but differ in term of management of code.
It's more easy to reuse/modify the small chunks.
