Looking at both and their timelines, I’d think pug may be based on slim which is a great thing. Slim has been around for years, steadily improving and addressing corner cases. I absolutely love it. Reduces typing by 50%, reading by 1000+%(as I re-read the code multiple times and it eliminates the multiple takes and looking for closing tags) and matches how my human brain thinks about markup. |

Pug (actually Jade at the time) v0.1: Jul 5, 2010
I'm thinking these are "convergent evolution", especially since they arose in different language communities.
I totally agree that this is the best way to generate HTML. I use pug even for really tiny pages and templates. It amazes me that people like JSX, which seems like a total regression from building elements with function calls like React originally had. When I code Cycle.js in coffeescript it looks and feels a lot like pug; which is great.
