Why Haml?

Haml (HTML Abstraction Markup Language) is a whitespace-sensitive templating engine for Ruby, commonly used in Rails. It replaces inline HTML with clean, indented syntax that’s easier to read and maintain.

Benefits of Haml include:

• Cleaner and shorter syntax compared to ERB
• Improved readability and maintainability
• Faster front-end templating for Rails developers

Haml is used by many Ruby shops and developers for rapid Rails development, including Unspace Interactive.
