## What it is
Selmer is a fast, Django-inspired template engine written in pure Clojure. It compiles templates with variables, filters, and tags, primarily for HTML generation but usable for any text templating.

## Use cases
- render html templates in a clojure web app
- django-style templating for clojure
- template inheritance with blocks and extends
- generate emails or text files from templates
- apply filters to template variables
- internationalize templates

## When to choose
- you need a mature, fast template engine on the JVM
- you're familiar with Django template syntax
- you want template inheritance and rich built-in filters in Clojure

## When to avoid
- you need client-side JavaScript templating
- you prefer logic-less templates like Mustache
- your project isn't on the JVM/Clojure

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, documentation
- platform: jvm, jvm-scripting
- tags: template-engine, django-inspired, html-template, clojure, text-templating
