Dust vs Pug: What are the differences?

Developers describe Dust as "Asynchronous templates for the browser and node.js". Dust is a JavaScript templating engine designed to provide a clean separation between presentation and logic without sacrificing ease of use. It is particularly well-suited for asynchronous and streaming applications. On the other hand, Pug is detailed as "Robust, elegant, feature rich template engine for nodejs". This project was formerly known as "Jade." Pug is a high performance template engine heavily influenced by Haml and implemented with JavaScript for Node.js and browsers.

Dust and Pug can be categorized as "Templating Languages & Extensions" tools.

Dust and Pug are both open source tools. Pug with 18.3K GitHub stars and 1.9K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Dust with 1.48K GitHub stars and 136 GitHub forks.
