Hi everybody, I would like to announce shpaml here. Shpaml is a haml- like language that is targeted for non-Ruby environments, particularly Python and Javascript. Obviously most people on this list are happily using haml, but if you happen to be lurking and waiting for a port to Python/JS, shpaml might be what you are looking for. I am aware that there are some previous haml-like implementations in Python, but this one is more actively maintained.
The website for shpaml is here: http://shpaml.webfactional.com/ You will see that shpaml is very similar to haml, but not completely equivalent: http://shpaml.webfactional.com/compare Like haml, shpaml has a showdown page, and I use a little bit of color to illustrate the cruft that comes from HTML: http://shpaml.webfactional.com/examples I don't think there is much that haml can borrow back from shpaml, but if there is anything worth sharing between the two projects, you can find source code here: https://bitbucket.org/showell/shpaml_website/src/ One thing that shpaml has is an online tutorial, where you can try before you buy: http://shpaml.webfactional.com/tutorial/1 Shpaml was recently ported to JS, which allows for even more immediate feedback on how the language works: http://kp.hcoop.net/kp/doc/tip/shpaml/js/demo.html The shpaml project is gathering a little momentum, but it it is still very early going, and we are wrestling with design decisions that are probably old hat for haml folks, so it would be great to benefit from your experience and lessons learned on the mailing list: http://shpaml.webfactional.com/discuss Cheers, Steve -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Haml" group.
