Browserify: browser-side require() for your node.js

Is it possible to use this with haml-js or jade to render client side templates? As in I want folder of .haml files and then be able to do var newView = require("templates/new");

From a novices perspective, could someone please explain: what is it? what does it do? why is it better than the alternatives? Thanks!

looks great. would be even better when it comes with automatic compression for bigger scripts.
