6. Test Expressions (95%)

• Type tests: defined, undefined, none, boolean, string, number
• Container tests: sequence, mapping, iterable, callable
• Numeric tests: even, odd, divisibleby(n)
• String tests: lower, upper, startswith, endswith, match

Feature Coverage Summary

Category	Support Level	Notes
Core Syntax	100%	All basic template syntax
Template Inheritance	100%	Complete inheritance system
Control Structures	100%	All flow control features
Includes/Imports	100%	Full import system
Macros	90%	Missing *args/**kwargs
Filters	98%	85+ filters implemented
Tests	95%	30+ test expressions
Advanced Features	85%	Most advanced features

Production Readiness

The Miya implementation is production-ready for most use cases:

Strengths:

• Complete template inheritance with super() calls
• Comprehensive filter library matching most of Jinja2
• Robust error handling and undefined variable management
• High performance with caching and optimizations
• Thread safety for concurrent applications
• Extensible architecture with custom filters and tests

Limitations:

• Macro varargs/kwargs: *args and **kwargs not supported
• Complex slicing: Advanced slice operations limited
• Some Python-specific features: Dict comprehensions may be incomplete

Workarounds Available:

• Use explicit parameters instead of varargs
• Use filter chains instead of complex slicing
• Implement complex logic in Go code rather than templates
