Rails 3.1 moves to Coffeescript. Is Slashdotted. News at 11. — telemachus

Wow... crazy github comment war breaking out on the coffeescript commit in rails. — ajkovar

Freakout on CoffeeScript in Rails 3.1: bit.ly/g6fMEL — rtwomey

88 notifications on Github, apparently the coffeescript flamewar is alive and well. — dfnkt

The coffeescript-rails discussion (http://bit.ly/gKI5Vi) almost makes me jealous. Haven't seen such passion in .NET land for a while. — martijnboland

That Rails Coffeescript thread is out of control. I can't view the thread without Firefox causing my machine to hit swap: http://j.mp/g6fMEL — damncabbage

I’M JUST HERE FOR THE VIOLENCE! #rails31 #coffeescript #github #comments — ziromr

I don’t even know what coffeescript is. What are you kids fighting about now? — kch

So... CoffeeScript. I don’t get it. — jlecker

Are people weary of using #coffeescript for js, #haml for html and #sass for css in #rails? All cool stuff, but nearly too meta for me. — danistheremix

I’m not really into all this meta stuff; SCSS, Coffeescript, HAML. Just do the real thing, and do it good. #Rails3.1 — rienswagerman

Rails 3.1 coming with CoffeeScript and Sass? Cool. Making them the defaults? Kind of crazy. (And what about LessCSS?) — lof

Making SASS and Coffeescript default in Rails 3.1 is a horrible decision! This is how/why merb was born… stupid & rushed decisions. #rails — Mephux

#CoffeeScript—write in one language, debug in another! #thejoysofcodegeneration — twitinsin

The news of Rails 3.1 supporting CoffeeScript reminds me how angry CoffeeScript makes me... I can’t understand how people would prefer it. — enormego

I for one welcome my new CoffeeScript overlords. — joshpeek

Love that Rails 3.1 is pushing the envelope with CoffeeScript. Please continue this and ignore the haters. — mperham

Seems obvious to me. Javascript usually becomes an unintelligible mess, and CoffeeScript is JS turned into Ruby. Perfect fit. — enormego

Also missing from the conversation is that Firebug + other tools have plans to support tracebacks to CoffeeScript src. — BrendanEich

CoffeeScript by default in Rails? Bloody brilliant. Does anyone who’s ever (really) used CoffeeScript have a problem with this? I don’t. — darthapo

Seriously playing with coffeescript for the first time. Very impressive, and smoother integration with #nodejs than I expected. — felixge

CoffeeScript is all kinds of awesome! — bitsushi

default != requirement #rails3.1 #coffeescript — vianaweb

@jashkenas Congratulations! Getting CoffeeScript included in Rails is an honor. You should be proud. CoffeeScript is a beautiful language. — gixug

I love how most of the arguments against CoffeeScript were the same we faced against Ruby back in the day. It’s “cute,” “toy,” “just syntax.” — dhh

Fearing irrelevance, Rails drops Ruby, moves to #CoffeeScript and #Node.js for 3.2 release. — FakeHackerNews

I am. Therefore I tweet. — @unclebobmartin

When @livia wants bagels, I go fetch bagels. That’s how I do. — @biz

Starting to think I need a new business plan.... — @RonJeffries

I’m pleased to announce I’m creating an exploratory committee. What I’m exploring, however, remains a secret. — @hugs

We all thought that the first time we did something was the first time it had ever been done. — @scottknaster

cd / ; sudo ln -s Applications Apps — @cdespinosa

Terrifying deadline looms. Time to redesign my blog! #productiveprocrastination — @ginatrapani

Even though I did get my earring for business reasons (credibility with Ruby hepcats), I manfully refuse to count it as a business expense. — @marick

Why is Twitter recommending a bunch of hockey tweeters for me to follow? Has the machine developed a cruel, surreal sense of humor? — @gvwilson

Hell is other people’s concurrency. http://wp.me/p1gR5-uw — @therealadam

Meaning no disrespect to either tradition, Iroquois dream-guessing might be preferable to SDLC requirements analysis. http://bit.ly/eCuZBl — @marick

In 90s, mgr tried to used boiling frog metaphor to explain how team was just fine w/ pressure increase, unaware froggie dies @ story end. — @tottinge

I have the best wife in the world. — @bphogan

@bphogan Let me guess: She tore apart your laptop, soldered a loose connection to fix the issue and overclocked the CPU for you? — @rit

Cool. PragPub has a whole issue on Arduino. http://bit.ly/gSfMMx — @MilesForrest

This month’s PragPub has 28 pages dedicated to Arduino. It’s like they’re reading my mind. http://www.pragprog.com/magazines — @dlkinney

Best issue yet: Maik Schmidt writes about Advanced Arduino Hacking in the April PragPub. http://cot.ag/i2dfg3 #arduino (via @pragpub) — @jerrykuch

Been trying to tell myself that I don’t have time for Ardiuno hacking, and then @pragpub had to do this: http://j.mp/fdad0m — @squarepegsys

Great April PragPub issue with an Arduino focus! And thanks for using Fritzing. #pragpub #Arduino #FritzingOrg — @gnozicka

John Shade’s #oracle #sun illuminations in @pragpub well worth a read. cot.ag/i2dfg3 — @stevencarrie

Hey look, it’s my @pragpub interview in Japanese! http://bit.ly/eKfXqV — @chadfowler
