I wouldn't really know, as the few gigs I've worked have all already had ERB templates. I also tend to care very little about "market share" or the next hot thing; if I have the choice and one tool is easier/faster for a certain task than another (and yes, HAML is better for producing HTML or XHTML markup than anything else right now), I'll use the better tool. However, HAML is **braindead simple** to learn and become proficient with (really, http://haml-lang.com/tutorial.html doesn't exaggerate at all about its simplicity), and since when was learning more technologies ever a bad thing? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
