In Estonia the leave is 100% salary for 1.5 years (78 weeks) for one parent (either the mother or father). However there is a cap on the maximum salary the government will pay, so if the parent is earning a lot they will be taking a pay cut.
I actually think it's quite a good system, to encourage parents to have children.
totally agree, haml is awesome. However there are a couple of cases where html/erb is more readable:
1) when working with a lot of knockout.js bindings, html attributes seem more natural when there are a lot of them
2) when working with a deeply nested DOM structure, usually such a mess is not needed, except for HTML e-mails
