## Acutis language

Acutis is a template language that features static typing, pattern matching, and
asynchronous template components. You can execute your templates like scripts or
compile them to self-contained JavaScript files.

Acutis is an experimental, personal project and is not stable.

```acutis
{% interface
siteTitle = string
blogPosts =
[
{
title: string,
author: {name: ?string},
date: string,
image: ?{alt: string, src: string},
content: string
}
]
~%}

Blog posts for {% siteTitle %}


{%~ map blogPosts with {image, title, content, date, author: {name}} %}


{% match image with null ~%}
{* no image *}
{%~ with !{src, alt} ~%}
{% alt %}
{% /match ~%}

{% title %}


By {% name ? "Anonymous" %}
Posted on {% date %}

{{% content %}}


{%~ /map %}
```
