It's very powerful in that you can do anything in your template because it gets compiled to an erlang module (functions, pattern matching, guards, bifs, importing other functions, metadata). However doing multiple functions in a template, etc may go against the herml philosophy on the wiki page but at the same time doing what erltl does but with herml syntax would be insanely powerful and beautiful.
