Haml

Haml (HTML Abstraction Markup Language) is a templating language that generates HTML by using indentation and concise syntax to eliminate the need for explicit tags and reduce boilerplate code. It aims to make markup more elegant and maintainable by enforcing a clean structure and minimizing redundancy in web development projects.

Also known as: HTML Abstraction Markup Language, HAML, haml, Haml-templating, Haml-lang

Why learn Haml?

Developers should learn Haml when working on Ruby on Rails projects or other Ruby-based web applications, as it integrates seamlessly and promotes cleaner, more readable templates compared to traditional ERB. It is particularly useful for teams prioritizing code simplicity and consistency in HTML generation, reducing errors from mismatched tags and improving development speed.
