    @AlexDeLarge I saw it for the first time today and it looked interesting. So I want to know if it's usefull or I can skip this and am better of writing pure HTML. The Syntax actually looked nice... But I'm not sure if this actually is better.

    @AlexDeLarge Also I experienced that Im MUCH faster with Sass. Therefore I think it will be similar.

    @AlexDeLarge yeah, that's good. Do you use similar HTML preprocessors? Do they increase your productivity?

    @AlexDeLarge I use Atom for Sass and Sublime Text 3 for the other stuff at the moment. Because Sublime didn't implement Sass-syntax-highlighting. Sublime is awesome in HTML, so I am not slow in my opinion... (but I thaught I wasn't slow in css aswell 😅)

    I will give Vim with Emmet a shot and see if that fits my workflow. I also read that its hard to use in the beginning. Any advice where to start?

    @AlexDeLarge wow, that looks complicated (when syntax formulas gets larger). Are you sure, you're faster with this syntax compared to normal HTML? 😅

    @AlexDeLarge thank you very much 😉

    @AlexDeLarge okay, I tried emmet and its pretty cool and powerful. But theres one con in using emmet that a preprocessor like haml deals with: readability. When I reread the haml I don't have to deal with all the duplication in HTML. Am I right? 🤔

    @AlexDeLarge I mean I can read the precompiled file if I want to make changes and have the clean haml syntax. When reading emmet result is reading pure HTML.

    @AlexDeLarge 😅 yeah. I'll use emmet first, because there less to install. And see if the future me will step into haml one day.
