-`hatmill` provides a simple set of types and helper functions for writing HTML in plain Go code, without having to deal with any template languages. It is not spectacularly performant, but is comparable to the `html/template` package (at least in simple cases; run `go test -bench=. -benchmem` for proof). `hatmill` “templates” are arguably easier to read and write than many template languages.
