It's just another templating system. The only real reason to use TAL is because
it's language agnostic. It's got implementations in Python, Java and PHP. So if
you're working on a multi language project then it's a good fit. Otherwise it's
slow (slower than both TT and H::T) and I find it incredibly verbose and clumsy.
I converted a few TAL templates into TT equivalents once and the reduction in
size was almost 50%.
