Cool project, but does the author know about minijinja [1]?

There is little chance they don't know about minijinja/askama/tera/etc.

The repo for their project outlines why they're doing this, though: https://github.com/LilyAcorn/django-rusty-templates

It's seemingly being made for being used in Django as a template backend, not necessarily for use from Rust like the others (i.e native-ifying Django templates).
