I've used Jinja for my Path of Exile 2 item filter, and it's stupidly fast:

This would make it a lot easier to rebuild/re-render sprites at different sizes so we could experiment with larger sprites. This is currently a pain in the ass due to having to edit the text files in addition to the makefile.

Another bonus would be that we could easily generate JSON HUD configuration for the Unified SDK from the same shared data: https://github.com/twhl-community/halflife-unified-sdk/blob/master/docs/features/hud-sprite-system.md
