HAML/SaSS 2.0

[Eumir Gaspar]

Just checked their site and saw that they just released 2.0(I actually don't know when they released though...there wasn't any date). They now claim(and I quote):

"The speed increase for 2.0 is nowhere near as impressive as 1.8, but it's still interesting. According to our benchmarks¹, Haml is now slightly faster than ERB, even when rendering via ActionView."

Has anyone actually tried this? And has anyone tried this on large sites that have a lot of traffic? How did it go?

Hi Eumir,

We're using haml 2.0 but we don't have a large traffic yet :)

Hmm kinda curious as to how this would scale though, since it has to compile the code and such, but I guess it won't have that much of a difference since it will basically just compile once since it can be cached? or does it always have to compile every time you view a page?

I benchmarked my coding though. It makes me 80% faster than using ERB.
lol.

There isn't significant development increase with using SASS against
CSS besides the fact if you do HAML, why not instead use SASS too so
the language shift isn't big. SASS Variables are pretty much an
increase help, so is mixins.

actually i was just planning to use SASS(since converting all the existing views i have to haml will take forever). Thanks for the input! I figured I'll just use SASS in my local machine and just upload the generated css files to the repository(so i don't even have to freeze haml now)

One cool thing I like about sass is I have my constants in
constants.sass and in my layout.sass I could do this:

#content_main
:width = !wBody - !wContentNav - !wContentColMargin
:margin-left = !wContentNav + !wContentColMargin

question about mixins: can they only be called from the file they were declared? because i have a mixin in main.sass and a file named contents.sass which imports main. I tried calling the mixin but it says it is undefined. or am i just doing things wrong?

[Greg Moreno]

please paste the code
