As a user of mustache in multiple languages, I believe the most important priority of the mustache community is to have uniform implementations, which is what the mustache spec will hopefully solve.

There are some features that do not seem to be consistent across implementations. For example, partial templates are handled differently in mustache.rb and mustache.js.

It seems like there are attempts to "embrace and extend" the mustache language (handlebars and mustache.js), which is fine, as long as the spec is adhered to and the good features get folded into the spec.

Thanks for reinforcing this view. I want to make sure this is one of the overarching goals, which is why I listed it in the Design Principles.

The difference between .rb and .js stems from JS lacking File.read(). But a 2.0 spec could work around that.
