3 languages

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

I need to clarify my interests. I keep getting calls from recruiters who want to hire me to do Perl or database management. So, I am trying out an experiment in self-analysis by describing my enthusiasms as they relate to specific programming languages. I am currently interested in the web software applications of Ruby, JavaScript, and Clojure.

It isn’t all about programming languages. There are topics and concerns that span software development and computer science. But PLs are one great way to summarize one’s experience and efforts. And I’m a language nerd, so I like PLs as ends in themselves. So, here is my little essay on the 3 languages I like most right now, and, more importantly perhaps, what I want to do with them in the coming months. This is my summer of hustle, and this post is part prelude, and part wishful thinking, about all the things I’d like to tackle.

Mustache support for Rails 3: generator

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

At RailsConf, Jeremy McAnally noted that no one had built a new-style Rails generator for the mustache template system. So I’m giving it a try. You can see my progress so far on github. I’ve forked the rails3-generator project started by José Valim and carried on by several contributors, and I’ve added just a little bit of support for mustache file creation in controller and scaffold generators. I was greatly helped by Paul Barry’s post on adding a Haml generator to the same project.

The next steps are to flesh out the generator templates and try to get a working mustache template engine. Mustache and Rails don’t officially work together yet. That’s a goal for mustache 1.0. I’m excited, however, about Martin Gamsjaeger’s promising implementation.

I’d like to see a gem that gives you complete Rails support for mustache: the template engine, generators, helpers, and documentation. I’d also like to see the gem work with Tilt, which claims to provide a generic interface to mustache already.

If you’re interested in helping, well… fork me!
