Hi everyone, I wanted to give you all an update on the changes in Hamlet 0.7[1]. So far, the following have been implemented: * Adding angle-bracket syntax * Remove period-delimited variables, and allow qualified functions. For example, $Data.List.sort myString$ * Change forall and maybe to use <-, eg $forall person <- people I haven't tried it on real life code yet, but I have converted the entire Hamlet test suite to use this, and I'm quite happy with the result. Overall, I think things are much more readable. Just for the record: the second item (period-delimited variables) affects Cassius and Julius as well. So now for the last few decisions: * Do we rename maybe to just? I am leaning towards no on this. * For Cassius, do we switch from a whitespace sensitive syntax to brackets? * Do we convert from $my variable$ to #{my variable}. * And if we do this, can we consider #{my (nested call)} and #{my $ nested call} the same? Please see the wiki page[1] for more information on all of these. As far as the I18N note at the bottom: I think we'll be able to release such a feature without introducing any breaking changes. Most likely, a "message" will be a specialization of standard variable interpolation, eg: #?{myI18NMessage} In other words, I'm in no rush to get that feature in the 0.7.0 release, it can wait until 0.7.1. I *do*, however, want to get this Hamlet released soon so that it doesn't hold up Yesod 0.7 any longer: since Yesod 0.6 will not work with WAI 0.3, it also won't work with Warp, and I think a lot of people will want to be able to use Warp soon.
