>> what is the problem that haml is trying to solve exactly Speaking only from personal experience (and I'm talking about my own bad habits with HTML), I have had plenty of bugs related to mismatched open and close tags in heavily nested HTML code, which would result in time consuming debugging. I've all but eliminated these types of issues by using Haml. I no longer have to worry about accidentally deleting the wrong close tag when de-nesting a block of markup. Is it a cure-all for everyone? Not at all. But for some people, it's a godsend.
