CoffeeKup is a templating engine for Node.js and browsers that lets you write HTML templates in pure CoffeeScript, inspired by Markaby's 'markup as Ruby' concept. Templates are just CoffeeScript functions, enabling a single language for both server and client-side rendering.

Use cases

• generate HTML from CoffeeScript templates in Node.js
• render templates in the browser with CoffeeScript
• avoid learning a separate template language like Jade or HAML
• write server and client templates in one language
• build HTML with programmatic CoffeeScript logic like loops and conditionals

When to choose

• your codebase is written in CoffeeScript and you want templates in the same language
• you prefer programmatic template generation over string-based template syntax
• you need the same templating engine on both server and client

When to avoid

• your project uses plain JavaScript or modern tooling (CoffeeScript is largely legacy)
• you need an actively maintained templating library with recent updates
• you prefer declarative template syntax over code-based templates
