EJS can do the same thing, like:
<% list(items, function(){ %>
<li>....</li>
<% }) %>
<li>....</li>
<% }) %>
It's probably possible in 2.0.2 to turn off binding by doing it in a helper like:
registerHelper("v", function(compute){
var val = compute();
can.__clearReadings();
can.__clearReadings();
return val;
})
{{v person.name}}
