HAML vs WebAssembly: What are the differences?
Developers describe HAML as "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. On the other hand, WebAssembly is detailed as "A binary instruction format for a stack-based virtual machine". It is an open standard that defines a portable binary code format for executable programs, and a corresponding textual assembly language, as well as interfaces for facilitating interactions between such programs and their host environment.
HAML and WebAssembly belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.
HAML and WebAssembly are both open source tools. WebAssembly with 3.49K GitHub stars and 347 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than HAML with 3.44K GitHub stars and 545 GitHub forks.
According to the StackShare community, HAML has a broader approval, being mentioned in 139 company stacks & 264 developers stacks; compared to WebAssembly, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 4 developer stacks.
