  • heptat heptat I agree with this presenter - haml is yet another thing to learn, another layer, and who knows what support/interest it will have in 6 months or a year or 5 years. Write HTML - it's not going anywhere. 3 months ago Reply

  • galiat galiat haml is succinct & not terribly hard to learn or teach. The developers that I've introduced to haml have picked it up with enthusiasm because its fun to work with.

    Masturbation references can be funny ... but yours was not. People like you contribute the problem of few women in the ruby community.     7 months ago Reply

  • Phrzn Guillermo Estrada , Software Developer at Highlands Institute I just Love HAML, I agree to the most common predicament that HAML was made for layout and design and NOT for content. But really, HAML is just SO good that with all it's perks there is nothing better out there. Just drop a :filter in your content and paste markdown or anything else, you can even :cofeescript it, and use anything inside. Haml was made for productivity, ease of development and mainteinance of code, bad programming habits and off standard code you will fnd EVERYWHERE! Not HAML fault. 9 months ago Reply

  • billalford75 Bill Alford , Founder at MakerHub I agree that there is a tiny bit of a learning curve for haml and that it adds an extra layer. However I've noticed that it really makes the bad structuring of partials smell even worse, so that encourages a much cleaner design and reuse.

    As for using indenting for nesting, yeah, that's a bit weird. But my editor handles that for me better than the html mode and the erb statements. It makes it _much_ easier to know what code is within that if statement.     10 months ago Reply

  • carlos_atx carlos_atx HAML is not that old and is has been improved since this slide was uploaded.

    HAML is not that hard to comprehend and it only takes a quick training session to go over its syntax. You are correct, HAML is not Ruby, but its syntax just make clear sense if you are Ruby developer. I believe it is a great tool and in my use cases it has been nothing but a great instrument for coding Views easily, faster, and persistent.     11 months ago Reply

  • heliocreative Sean Mayhew at Sean Mayhew I realize this is really old but I figure since it came up so high in Google I would leave a note - as a front end UI guy I love HAML - it can be a little fumbling/frustrating at first but I don't find it to be much more difficult than basic xhtml and its a heck of a lot faster to write (at least in textmate) - So I think saying 'Why HAML Sucks' might be overstating it a little bit...when the slides seem to be more minor irritations -- now if you want to make a slideshow 'Why XAML Sucks' I'll be all over it and the 'Like' the heck out of it :) 1 year ago Reply
