[web-devel] Cascading/Scoping via indenting/whitespace in Cassius

["Timo B. Hübel"]

Hi,

that is nice to hear, although I especially favor the brace-less syntax. 
I think I'll have a hard time to choose between those two. Unfortunately 
I have absolutely no clue about those parsing and template Haskell 
things, but maybe I'll give it a try on a boring evening.

Thanks,
Timo
