When I came across HAML & SASS, there was no doubt in my mind that this is certainly much better and lesser time consuming that normal erb files.After having worked on the two for a good 2 months I again hold my belief, but recently I have been facing quite a lot of issues when I tried deploying my application to my web hosting, which was giving the error for any of rake operations saying !rake aborted invalid file -- haml [almost like this]
