Comment on HAML: the unforgivable sin

Comments

"I still have to think about tags, ids and classes while I’m writing HAML. It simply provides a more concise syntax."

So he wants macros, again proving Greenspun's tenth rule…

While I disagree that just having a better syntax isn't worth it all by itself, considering that we're talking about the utterly verbose nightmare that's SGML/XML, couldn't you do some of that with inline ruby, filters, partials, helpers etc?
