I’ve been mulling using StaticMatic to move my static projects over to HAML, and it’s great to have another option.

Have you used StaticMatic? If so, care to share a comparison of the two?

It’s rumored that emacs has space invaders built into it. Maybe you could implement a similar easter egg into Radiant!

Comment on 'Better Modularization for Rails 2.0 (or What Rails Can Learn from Django)' by Dan Kubb

When I work on my rails app, I find I open each controller, its model (and associated models), the views for the controller, and the tests all at once. Its alot of scrolling sometimes; and it would be nicer to just highlight all the files and open them in one step.

The main difference I would have with your layout is I would want a separate directory for my views since it could get cluttered if you had a bunch of partials. I would also want my routing, migration and config files to be centralized as they are now.

However, I do think this will be an uphill battle to get integrated in time for Rails 2.0. Perhaps a better interim approach would be to refactor Rails so that the directories (and approaches for loading) views, models, controllers and tests are configurable. The defaults could match the current conventions, but it would provide a way to experiment with your layout. At the very least it might DRY up some of the core if this logic was centralized.

Comment on 'Rails Needs Something Better Than Engines' by TJ

That was the most reasonable Rails/Django blog post I’ve read. Thanks. While I appreciate the opinionated nature of Rails and think Rails hits the “sweet spot” in many ways, I hope that DHH and the core team keep an open mind to recognizing (and even borrowing) good ideas from other frameworks.

Comment on 'Now Using Mephisto!' by Jamie Wilkinson

Oh bitter irony. :)

Seriously though, Mephisto is absolutely amazing for what it was designed for. Would love to see some cross-pollination of features/methodologies.

Good stuff.

Comment on 'Class-Level Instance Variables' by rue

I would recommend revising the first section about ‘class-level instance variables’. Classes are just objects, period :)

You clarify this later on but the initial impression may be that these are somehow separate.

Excellent write-up! Just wanted to add a possibility: Your traits example uses “copy on inheritance”, you could get a little more play out of actual inheritance:


class X
  def self.x
     10
  end
end
class Y &lt; X
  def self.x
    super if defined?(super)
  end
end
Y.x #=&gt; 10
