Crikey is a templating engine inspired by Hiccup. It is focused on mapping snippets of view code and logic to data structures available in the language.

Add this to your application's shard.yml:

dependencies:
  crikey:
    github: domgetter/crikey

require "crikey"
Crikey.to_html([:div, [:span, "Hello"]])
#=> "<div><span>Hello</span></div>"

Example with Kemal:

require "kilt/crikey"
get "/users" do
  users = [{name: "Samantha", id: 7}, {name: "Mikey", id: 24}] # this would be the result of a db call
  render "src/views/users.crikey"
end

(in users.crikey)

[:div, {id: "users"},
  users.map do |user|
    [:div, {class: "user"},
      [:span, user[:id]],
      [:span, {style: "color: red"},
        user[:name]]]
  end
]

And you will get

<div id="users">
  <div class="user">
    <span>7</span>
    <span style="color: red">Samantha</span>
  </div>
  <div class="user">
    <span>24</span>
    <span style="color: red">Mikey</span>
  </div>
</div>

It's just data!
