No, in this case it’s really called zen coding, at least in Visual Studio that’s what they’re calling it, and since on that one I don’t see VS in the supported list, I don’t think it’s the same, even though it looks very similar!

The latter allows stuff like this:

div#myId>select>option[value=someValue]*5>lorem

generate:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit fusce vel sapien elit in malesuada semper mi, id sollicitudin urna fermentum ut fusce varius nisl ac ipsum gravida vel pretium tellus.
Tincidunt integer eu augue augue nunc elit dolor, luctus placerat scelerisque euismod, iaculis eu lacus nunc mi elit, vehicula ut laoreet ac, aliquam sit amet justo nunc tempor, metus vel.
Placerat suscipit, orci nisl iaculis eros, a tincidunt nisi odio eget lorem nulla condimentum tempor mattis ut vitae feugiat augue cras ut metus a risus iaculis scelerisque eu ac ante.
Fusce non varius purus aenean nec magna felis fusce vestibulum velit mollis odio sollicitudin lacinia aliquam posuere, sapien elementum lobortis tincidunt, turpis dui ornare nisl, sollicitudin interdum turpis nunc eget.
Sem nulla eu ultricies orci praesent id augue nec lorem pretium congue sit amet ac nunc fusce iaculis lorem eu diam hendrerit at mattis purus dignissim vivamus mauris tellus, fringilla.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg

It’s concise and expressive. I did find some of the notation to be quite alien to me though (although thankfully less alien than HAML). What I originally wanted for SIML was something that anyone familiar with CSS (and maybe SASS) could pick up quite quickly.
