Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code
I spent a few days of my spare time building a VS Code extension that would bring better syntax highlighting for the Slim template language to the editor. I quite enjoyed most of the process so I’d like to share what I learned.

Rails 7.1 Released
I think they mean Server Side Rendering (normal rails controllers/views), and Slim is just the name of the templating engine. It's a little nicer than the default ERB. https://github.com/slim-template/slim
There's also SSR with react and other js frameworks, but I don't think that's what they meant.

How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries
I use something very similar on https://lunar.fyi and https://lowtechguys.com but I wouldn’t call this “simple” anymore.
They use Jinja templating, I prefer Slim (https://github.com/slim-template/slim#syntax-example) which has a more Pythonic syntax (there is plim [0] in Python for that)
I use Tailwind as well for terse styling and fast experimentation (allows me to write a darkMode-aware and responsive 100 line CSS in a single line with about 10 classes)
For interaction I can write CoffeeScript directly in the page [1] and have it compiled by plim.
I run a Caddy static server [2] and use Syncthing [3] to have every file save deployed instantly to my Hetzner server.
I use entr [4] and livereloadx [5] to rebuild the pages and do hot reload on file save. All the commands are managed in a simple Makefile [6]

You can already see how the footnotes take up a large chunk of this comment, this is not my idea of simple. Sure, the end result is readable static HTML and I never have to fight obscure React errors, but it’s a high effort setup for starters.
Simple for me would be: write markdown files for pages, a simple CSS for general styling (should be optional), click to deploy on my domain. Images should automatically be resized to multiple sizes and optimized, videos re-encoded for smaller filesize etc.
I have mostly implemented that for myself (https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/How%20I%20write%20this%20blog...) but it feels fragile. I’d rather pay for a professional solution.

Do Modern Programming Languages Have to Care About Line Length?
Checkout slim https://github.com/slim-template/slim it's a templating language

How to use View Transitions in Hotwire Turbo
The template renders the tag and inside it the link and the counter itself (the Slim template language and Tailwind styling are used here, hopefully the notation is sufficiently self-explaining):

Styling Simple Form forms with Tailwind
This config sets a ”medium“ font weight for our form labels by default. Now, suppose we want a specific input’s label to be bold instead, we might want to try the following naive approach (we’re using the Slim template notation here):
- Am I the only one who takes top priority in code neatness? Even if the code works, I HAVE to make it look neat. It absolutely must look neat in my mind. I cant really work peacefully if the code isnt neat. It just has to be neat. Does anyone else feel this way?

Form error in a rails view
Consider slim: "Slim - A Fast, Lightweight Template Engine for Ruby" http://slim-lang.com and simple_form "GitHub - heartcombo/simple_form: Forms made easy for Rails! It's tied to a simple DSL, with no opinion on markup." https://github.com/heartcombo/simple_form

Tailwind CSS class sorter – the custom way
There are quite a few good ones already but, as it turned out, we hit one blocker or another with each of them. Our biggest issue was that we use Slim in our project, a template format which most of the tools don’t support.

Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code
First of all, I like Slim. I like the beauty and cleanness of Slim templates, to me they are way more readable than regular ERB templates and I think they fit in the ruby/Rails ecosystem very well. Slim is a close cousin to Haml, without the ugly percent characters, haha. I've used Slim exclusively in my projects since about 2016.

Hamlet: A type-safe Haml template engine for Go
> I can't say what problem it is supposed to solve
"Haml accelerates and simplifies template creation" https://haml.info/
If you'd rather write raw HTML, keeping track of closing tags etc, then don't use HAML. No need to bash it because you personally feel it is ugly or unnecessary. FWIW I personally feel the exact opposite.
there is a better side by side of the syntax here https://haml.info
(i've been using haml for 17 years lol, i find it more enjoyable to read and write)

Any web frameworks that could compare to Symfony?
Personally, I'd recommend Maud if you don't need something with runtime reloading. Not only is it much faster, it implements a template language that is effectively the Rust-syntax equivalent to Slim or Haml using a procedural macro, so you get compile-time verification that your HTML output is well-formed.

Rux: A JSX-inspired way to render view components in Ruby
Does this support HAML-style syntax? We're 100% HAML-only for templating, whether normal Rails views or ViewComponent... https://github.com/haml/haml https://haml.info/ so going back to writing HTML or ERB feels like a huge downgrade.
-
Anyone from a Typescript/React background who tried out Rust for the 1st time?
For templating, Maud is fast, gives compile-time well-formedness guarantees, and outputs minified HTML by default as a side-effect of it being based on Rust macros. (It's of a similar design philosophy to Slim and Haml)
-
Goddamn this tastes like eternal suffering.
That looks awfully like HAML.
-
I taught the chat bot an alternative syntax for HTML, called HBML, basically just braces instead of tags... we are so screwed
It's quite similar to HAML if you want to write websites with that for real.
Your HBML is similar to HAML - is it time for HCML? https://haml.info/
