I kinda started this a bit, but this was before a lot of the most recent changes: https://github.com/emerald-lang/website. I was thinking of doing the backend with sinatra - but that would probably entail us writing a gem like haml (https://rubygems.org/gems/haml/versions/4.0.7) where we can say:

# Haml
get '/' do
  haml :index, :format => :html5
end

# Emerald
get '/' do
  emerald :index
end

One of the things we'll have to decide is how to make emerald fit in with existing technologies (such as Sinatra, Flask, Rails, Express), how to use it with backend languages (Go, Python, Ruby, Node, etc.), and automated build tools and task runners (like Grunt & Gulp).

We'll probably have to make a bunch of packages (npm, pip, ruby gems, etc.) which can let us use it for multiple languages and tools.

Thoughts?
