Yesterday I did some coding regarding the output of my diagnose! app. Doing that I discovered the ease of HAML over ERB/HTML. This is HTML and even it looks awful it would be parsed right: <div class='example'> <table cellspacing='0'> <thead> <tr class='odd'> <th>Title</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr class='even'> <th>Single</th> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> On the other hand HAML reads whitespaces (like YAML): .example %table{:cellspacing => "0"} %thead %tr.odd %th Title %tbody %tr.even %th Single Furthermore its obvious that HAML is more readable because of no trailing tags. And this is the only pro for me that counts: readability. Have a look yourself: Tutorial on HAML
