I'm running a server-side-rendered web server using Actix Web. Any suggestions for a client? All I really need is something fast and that I can use without breaking my neck (don't need any fancy VDOM, trying to ship minimal JS).

I think all of these can be recompiled at runtime.

Askama seems to be a popular and mature option here. Yew is also pretty popular here, uses a VDOM and provides a powerful front end (great for SPAs) I’m most likely going to go with tide-jsx, it’s like HTML but it supports Rust expressions thru a macro, which is exactly what I need. Liquid is also pretty secure, so that’s an option.

Askama and Yew are pretty mature, so they probably have reasonable security. I would check their docs, however.

Perhaps "recompilation" wasn't the right word to use there.

My goal is to let people customize the templates that will end up building the pages, either from the app itself or through a companion panel app of sorts. This excludes anything that compiles down to native code, so it must be something interpreted at runtime.

Maybe just store the template in a file, read it, and format with the strfmt library?
