Templating language #60

Open jonlaing opened 12 years ago

jonlaing commented 12 years ago

I'm all about HAML for templating. For those of you who don't know, HAML is an ERB (Rails' default templating language) alternative. It's much more terse and compiles to really beautiful HTML. Having used both ERB and HAML in real projects, I would take the latter hands down any day of the week.

Thoughts?

I love HAML. I say yes like a 1960's Beatles' fangirl.

I haven't used SASS. It's always looked like a bit of toss up between CSS and SASS, though the variable and nesting features are interesting. Any thoughts on that end?

Well Rails 3.1+ comes with SASS already installed, so I figured that one was a given. However, if it's going to be discussed, yes I would go for SASS, or rather SCSS.

Okay. I'll work on familiarizing myself with SASS.

If you're familiar with Less, you should be able to grasp SASS pretty easily. That's my experience with it, anyway. I second going with SASS, though.
