Pug has a java implementation:

Thanks Paul.
Doesn’t seem that active either: https://github.com/neuland/jade4j/graphs/contributors
BTW there were several other suggestions in the link I gave:
https://dzone.com/articles/template-engines-review-after-deprecated-velocity
Pebble, Freemarker
Freemarker is one that we’ve been wanting to investigate for a long time already:
https://freemarker.apache.org/
https://github.com/apache/incubator-freemarker (again mostly one active contributor).
We would need to see what it would bring over Velocity for ex. since there’s little point
to changing if it doesn’t bring advantages.
Thanks

replacing Velocity. But you’re perfectly right, if someone is willing to work on this, we
might as well pick the right one.
