Coming from a jinja2 background, I find the golang text template engine... limited.

I was playing with the idea of bootstrapping a small python process that will build templates using jinja2 instead of golangs in confd. Then I can enjoy the full glory that is jinja2.

I have a few thoughts on how to best do this without making it all too heavy but before investing the time I was wondering if this makes sense? Should I just invest in expanding golangs text templator to do more stuff?

I need some basic funcationallty like reverse, sort, and for loop speical vars.

Thoughts?
