I’ve worked with AngularJS (version 1.x) where I frequently used templates within directives. Now that I’m diving into Node.js, I’ve noticed that many courses and tutorials mention server-side template engines such as Jade or EJS.
I’m curious to understand what practical advantages these backend templating systems offer. Do they enhance performance, streamline code organization, or simplify dynamic HTML generation? At the moment, I don’t see a compelling reason to use them, so I’m looking for insights or real-world examples that highlight their benefits on the server side.
