pug-tail

A zero-runtime transpiler that expands custom component DSLs with slot syntax directly on the Pug AST. Version 0.1.0-alpha.6 targets Node >=18, ships TypeScript type definitions, and is in early alpha stage. Unlike runtime slot systems (e.g., Vue slots), pug-tail performs static expansion at build time, producing plain Pug output with no client-side overhead. It offers a Vue-like slot syntax (named, scoped, fallback) but compiles away entirely. The project has irregular release cadence and is not yet stable. Key differentiators: no runtime cost, AST-level transformation, and integration with existing Pug toolchains.
