HAML vs AutoIt: What are the differences?

HAML: HTML Abstraction Markup Language - A Markup Haiku. Haml is a markup language that’s used to cleanly and simply describe the HTML of any web document, without the use of inline code. Haml functions as a replacement for inline page templating systems such as PHP, ERB, and ASP. However, Haml avoids the need for explicitly coding HTML into the template, because it is actually an abstract description of the HTML, with some code to generate dynamic content; AutoIt: A freeware BASIC-like scripting language designed for automating the Windows GUI. It uses a combination of simulated keystrokes, mouse movement and window/control manipulation in order to automate tasks in a way not possible or reliable with other languages.

HAML and AutoIt can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.

HAML is an open source tool with 3.44K GitHub stars and 545 GitHub forks. Here's a link to HAML's open source repository on GitHub.

StackShare, Movielala, and MAK IT are some of the popular companies that use HAML, whereas AutoIt is used by JJSOFT, Evolve IP, and NetSPI. HAML has a broader approval, being mentioned in 139 company stacks & 264 developers stacks; compared to AutoIt, which is listed in 3 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
