Spark view engine

What is Spark

Spark is a view engine for Asp.Net Mvc and Castle Project MonoRail frameworks. The idea is to allow the html to dominate the flow and the code to fit seamlessly.

For example,

<ul>
  <li each='var p in ViewData.Model.Products'>
    ${p.Name} !{Html.ActionLink[[ProductController]](c=>c.Edit(p.Id), "Edit")}
  </li>  
</ul>

The full csharp language is available in a way that doesn't interfere with the harmony and balance of the markup. The view template files produced compiled classes.
