Notably in your rant you site static indentation and "most forms" of static typing as "solving problems that don't come up in real life code". Haskell would seem to be an interesting choice for your development efforts in both cases then no? ;)

I think you make a fine point about xhtml being a great tool, but if you plan to embed some form of syntax into your templates and avoid data binding Haml is one of the better solutions out there.

PS I assume the forms of static typing you were referring too look a bit more like Java/C#/C++ and less like Haskell.

Out of curiosity, why? I've never really used it large-scale before, but it seems to work rather nicely.


Mostly because of its absolutist use of whitespace, and it insists I treat HTML as a set of DOM nodes instead of as a document.

Plus, it's ugly.
