Also: with HTML, a missing or badly-overlapping tag will usually go 
unnoticed, and may have unpredictable effects in the browser(s). It may 
render as intended in one but not in another. With HAML the output is 
well-formed always, and at worst my nesting will be wrong (and will be 
consistent in all browsers).

With Ruby, if I'm missing an 'end' the code won't run. I'd rather get 
the error, so I can correct it, than have the compiler insert end's 
silently.
