In some ways I can really see the readability gains - haml is very succinct and neat. But there's a cost involved, namely getting my eyes and brain to comfortably recognize new syntax and patterns, something that for me usually takes a long time.
I also worry about creating something in HAML and having people not familiar with it not be able to dive into the project and start working right away. I'm actually on the other side of that scenario right now and it's a pain.
But I do have to admit, it's a very pleasing syntax.
- tptacek 17y agoIt's not even readability that makes it a win; it's that the combination of jQ and Haml is like working in a markup language that has native support for every widget or UI flourish you could want.
- marknutter 17y agoVery intriguing. Hmm.
