Basics of templating with Cro::WebApp
summary
Cro::WebApp shows a concrete templating system: templates compile to an AST of objects (not Raku bytecode) and JIT-like compilation happens on first request, yielding about 2x faster renderings in the presenter’s tests. Helpers like render_template and template return HTML streams and wire into Cro::HTTP responses; macros, subroutines, loops and conditionals work as expected. The newer template parts feature lets route handlers skip repeatedly passing shared data (e.g. auth/order), and it integrates with Cro routing and authentication as demonstrated.
