Nathan Weizenbaum is the man.
Nathan is part of the team that gave us Haml and its obvious that he genuinely cares about it and the people using it. He made a post on his blog called "Haml Errors Suck" helping to explain the sometimes cryptic error messages that Haml throws and also asking for complaints, advice, etc. about those messages and other problems with Haml.
I was suffering from the no-output error that can occur when your Haml template is malformed in Rails pre 2.0.2. And it looks like Nathan spent the better part of yesterday making Haml work smoothly with versions of Rails all the way back 1.2.X.
Nathan's humility and hard work make him one of my personal Ruby Heroes. Thanks, Nathan.
