Isn't "new Function" as evil as "eval" is evil? I guess when you call something a Compiler, it's allowed to do evilish stuff.

It's definitely evil, when it's used at runtime. In general (non-testing) usage, it would be written out to a file after compilation and there'd be no eval() action at runtime.

Why is eval evil? Because it's insecure? Inefficient?

For all I know Django's templating system is probably the worst templating system in the entire python web ecosystem.

The only thing I'm really taking from the django system is the syntax and some of the concepts. As far as I know, it's implemented completely differently. Very simple django/jinja2 templates will compile with Ginger, but the functionality is designed to be closer to Twig than anything.

If it's the worst, then they all must be pretty good, but I have always rather enjoyed Django's templates.
