Pug

Pug (disambiguation) says "Pug, an HTML template engine; see Comparison of web template engines". But I see nothing about Pug here (or about Jade, which an earlier comment says is an older name for it). This page is also xref'd from JADE (programming language). Should Pug be listed here, or is it covered somewhere else? --Macrakis (talk) 15:01, 30 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Probably it isn't "notable enough" for Wikipedia. "Notability" is a vague criterion, used by officious Wikipedians to delete information about anything they think should disappear into obscurity. But in the case of web template engines, I think there are too many, rather than too few, listed. There are 30+ web template engines listed here. Imagine you're a contract web developer and somebody asks you to take over maintenance of their website. You rashly say "Sure" and then discover it was developed using the Frooboz web template engine that's (1) no longer maintained, (2) has documentation two versions behind the code, (3) has a tiny and shrinking user community .... Point (3) is probably true of at least half the engines listed here, and if (1) and (2) aren't yet, they will be soon. Longitude2 (talk) 07:56, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
