Comment on HAML: the unforgivable sin parent

Consider haml to erector:

  %ul#foo
    %li "Hello"
    %li.bar "World"

  ul :id => 'foo'
    li 'hello'
    li :class => 'bar' 'world'
  end

I personally don't like haml's use of seemingly arbitrary keywords. Coming back to a project and having to reread documentation due to cryptic syntax wastes time.

What arbitrary keywords? "." and "#" are the existing CSS selectors for "class" and "ID", and I personally really like that I don't have to type them out all the time.
