Erlang Metaprogramming: Zotonic's Template and Dispatch Compilers
summary
Explains Zotonic’s just-in-time meta-programming: how its template compiler and dispatch compiler turn template and routing definitions into Erlang modules using syntax_tools. Compares this approach to ErlyDTL, shows reusable components, and explains how to apply these compilers in your own Erlang projects.
