Sailfish is a compile-time template engine for Rust, designed for high-performance server-side rendering. Unlike runtime template engines that parse templates on every request, Sailfish uses procedural macros to parse `.stpl` files and generate optimized Rust code at compile time. This architecture ensures type safety, eliminates runtime parsing overhead, and allows for aggressive compiler optimizations. The engine integrates seamlessly with Rust's ecosystem, supporting features like embedded Rust code, filters, and includes within templates. The architecture is split into three main crates: `sailfish-compiler` handles the parsing and translation of template syntax into Rust AST, `sailfish-macros` provides the derive macros that trigger compilation, and `sailfish` contains the runtime logic for rendering and buffer management. The project emphasizes performance through custom memory allocation strategies and SIMD-optimized HTML escaping routines. It also includes comprehensive editor support via Tree-sitter grammars and VS Code/Vim syntax extensions. While the core engine is robust and well-architected, there are significant maintenance inconsistencies. The `Cargo.toml` specifies `edition = "2024"`, which is not a stable Rust edition, indicating experimental or forward-looking configuration. Additionally, the `CHANGELOG.md` lags significantly behind the actual version in `Cargo.toml` (v0.4.0 vs 0.11.2), suggesting documentation is not kept in sync with releases. Despite these issues, the codebase demonstrates high craftsmanship in its performance-critical components.
