Thanks for posting the link, I was just about to reply and mention it. :)

I've been working on Lua Haml off and on for about 15 months and just
got it to be feature-complete on Friday. I'm planning on a 1.0 release
in about 3 weeks, once I improve the error reporting, which is a
little weak right now. But I have been using it on real websites for a
while, and it is quite usable. So by all means, if you're looking for
an interesting template language please give it a try and send any
feedback.

Regards,

Norman
