HamlEdit

Haml or HTML Abstraction Markup Language is an alternative templating engine for Rails that aims to provide:

  • DRY, concise, well-indented, attractive markup
  • Rigorously correct XHTML output

Why a new templating system for Rails? I think this quote best sums it up:

Ruby on Rails pushes so many boundaries: RJS, migrations, and partials were new concepts that blew our minds, and made other platforms try to catch up. RHTML didn’t blow your mind at all; it’s just JSP/ASP/PHP/etc all over again. Boring! Rails deserves a ground-breaking templating language.
