Qute is a templating engine designed specifically to meet the needs of Quarkus. In this talk, I'd like to talk about how it actually started, what were the original goals and what compromises we had to make, and also where it evolved. We'll mention other projects that are built on top of Qute, such as quarkus-roq and quarkus-renarde. In a simple example app, we will explore the heavy lifting performed in the background and hidden from the user.
