Feature request :) - for / else

[dux]

The same it is implemented in Svelte https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/90

It would be nice, if we would be able to write

- for el in @model.children
  %p= el.name
- else
 .danger List is empty

and not as now

- children = @model.children
- if children.first
  - for el in children
    %p= el.name
- else
 .danger List is empty

I suggest not to play smart, just if for produces blank? - true, use else block.

Added to https://github.com/haml/haml/issues/1037 as well.

I think feature requested they need to be approved first in https://github.com/haml/haml

ok, but why? This does not brake compatibility.

[WaKeMaTTa]

Because Hamlit only implements the features of haml.

@WaKeMaTTa is right. One of the reasons is that Hamlit shares the same parser as Haml, and not using the exact same parser would increase maintenance cost of Hamlit. So at least syntax-level features like this should be proposed and implemented in Haml to avoid diverging the parser part.
