HAML ... the new shimdizzle in HTML markups 179

Posted by Bart Wed, 20 Sep 2006 02:24:00 GMT

Hampton has finally made his HAML language public by presenting it at RailsConf Europe 2006.

Bigups to Unspace for getting him over there. DHH described it as an "Impressive show", along the side of UJS, JRuby, and Capistrano.

If this is ugly: 

<div class="news_item">
<h3>Some news Item thingy! </h3>
  <p align="left"> (Toronto, July 14, 2006) I'm awesome! <a  
href="/news/2006/7/14/kiss_it">Read all</a>
  <span class="news_date">Posted: 2006-07-14</span></p></div>
.. and this is pretty 
%blockquote{:cite => quote.citation_url}
  = quote.text
  %cite= h quote.citation
...give HAML a look see.



Also, my favorite slide quote from DHH during the conference, presumably referring to this Rails 1.1.6 vulnerability
