Absolutely (in particular if you use the Haml >2.1.0 or the haml-edge 
gem)!  Haml is basically HTML with less typing.  Sass is a really, 
really powerful way of abstracting your CSS, allowing for clearer, more 
semantic markup by eliminating the need for presentation classes.  I 
highly recommend them both.

For an example of what you can do with Sass if you're really going all 
out, check out Chris Eppstein's Compass project (I believe that's 
http://www.compasscss.org )

Then Haml and Sass will be very useful.  Among other things, Haml makes 
it very hard to do Bad Things in HTML.
And of course you needn't exclusively decide on one or the other.  I 
have a few projects where for one reason or another, I use both Haml and 
ERb.

Now if someone would only make Kwartz work with Rails 2...
