Update String Template to version 4
Added by François ARMAND about 12 years ago. Updated almost 6 years ago.
Description
Faster, lighter, better: http://www.antlr.org/wiki/display/ST4/Differences+between+v3+and+v4
As explained in the given link, that update is some work, and so it can not be considered as a simple "library update".
Updated by François ARMAND about 12 years ago
After looking a little better, it seems that the last version (4.0.6) is not available in maven repos. In fact, the last available version is 4.0.2, almost two year old.
So I'm not sure it is wise to try to update to 4 for now. Or perhaps we could add that in our nexus ?

The 4.0.4 is available : http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.antlr/ST4/4.0.4
They changed name of the artefact from stringtemplate to ST
However the git refers to 4.0.4-SNAPSHOT in the pom, hence the unpublished version 4.0.6 ...

Ok, I've made some measures

So the step "Promises written" that uses a lot of stringtemplate goes from 39s to 23s - a significant improvement !
Alas, StringTemplate 4 is not maintained any more, adapting it to make it work with our template is a pretty signigicant change (we cannot use & as a seperator in stringtemplate), it needs rewritting of techniques, due to change of syntax, plus there are some minor breaking change, especially around }, iteration, and so on.

- http://software.clapper.org/scalasti/ : Scala interface to StringTemplate - no idea of the performance
- https://github.com/playframework/twirl : seems to be for html only
- scalatags : http://www.lihaoyi.com/scalatags/ : as it is also for css, may work for plain text
Bottom line: they will all require Technique rewrite, so we'll need both engine at the same time for a period of time

Nicolas, IIRC you said it won't be possible?

I'm rejecting this issue - migrating to stringtemplate 4 is not possible (incompatible syntax, and the project is not rellay maintained), and #13987 did improve a lot performance.
