Can Haml be used in Java web apps?

Question

I hear about Haml as a templating engine mostly in the Ruby world. Can it also be used in Java projects?

Answer 1

There's a list of Haml implementations on the Wikipedia page. At the moment, there isn't one for Java.

Update

There has been a Java implementation for a few years now : https://github.com/raymyers/JHaml

Answer 2

2 years after this question was asked (:P) there are:

• scaml - http://scalate.fusesource.org/documentation/scaml-reference.html

Answer 8

HAML is dependent on Ruby. I know there is a Python clone of HAML, not sure about Java.

Although, SASS/Compass are language agnostic.
