Hamlet vs Pug: What are the differences?

Hamlet: Simple and powerful reactive templating. Never touch the DOM by hand again - Hamlet does a great job of transparently keeping your model code in sync with the DOM. So much so that in most cases you never have to access a DOM element by hand. The resulting markup is free of excess attrs, data-attrs, and directives; Pug: 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.

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

Hamlet and Pug are both open source tools. Pug with 18.4K GitHub stars and 1.9K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Hamlet with 377 GitHub stars and 11 GitHub forks.
