Blade vs HAML: What are the differences?

Blade: A Java Web Framework. Blade is a lightweight MVC framework. It is based on the principles of simplicity and elegance; 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.

Blade belongs to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack, while HAML can be primarily classified under "Languages".

Blade and HAML are both open source tools. Blade with 4.83K GitHub stars and 1.02K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than HAML with 3.44K GitHub stars and 544 GitHub forks.
