<p>Before diving deeper into Ewwii and <strong>Rhai</strong> (Ewwiis configuration language), check out <strong><a href="https://ewwii-sh.github.io/statictranspl/">Statictranspl</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Rhai layouts are dynamic and can be verbose, which may feel overwhelming for users without experience in languages like Rust, C, or JavaScript. <strong>Statictranspl</strong> simplifies Rhai by abstracting much of the complexity, adding stricter compilation, and providing clearer error messages. Many issues can be caught <strong>at compile time</strong>, making it more beginner-friendly.</p>
<p><strong>How it works:</strong>
Statictranspl compiles a custom language called <code>stpl</code> into Rhai quickly and efficiently. For users creating <strong>static-only widgets</strong>, it can be a powerful way to simplify development.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Note:</strong>
Statictranspl is <strong>experimental</strong>. It currently does <strong>not</strong> support most dynamic Rhai features, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Variables and updates</li>
<li>Polling and listeners</li>
<li>Functions and conditionals (<code>if/else</code>)</li>
<li>Loops (<code>for</code>/<code>while</code>)</li>
<li>Imports/exports</li>
</ul>
<p>While excellent for static widgets, it cannot yet match the full flexibility of raw Rhai.</p>
