# Notability
It has been my preferred templating language for Ruby for an extremely long time. If one must write HTML, this is the best way to avoid doing so directly.
## Implementations
The native and most maintained version is written in [[3. Reference/Software/Programming Languages/Ruby]].
There are very similar languages for other development environments:
- [Amber](https://github.com/eknkc/amber) for [[Go]] (unmaintained)
- [Slang](https://github.com/jeromegn/slang) for [[Crystal]]
- [Emblem.js](https://github.com/machty/emblem.js) for [[Javascript]] (unmaintained, related to [[Handlebars]])
- [Plim](https://github.com/avanov/Plim) for [[Python]]
- [Pug](https://github.com/pugjs/pug) for Javascript (unmaintained, different but well loved)
- [Pugneum](https://github.com/matheusmoreira/pugneum) for Javascript (active as of [[2023-10-25]], static fork of Pug)
