Really mixing things up here: I’m just going to assume when you use the term 'jScript' you just mean "JavaScript". If you meant some sort of weird Microsoft thing, then I don’t know. As was mentioned, RoR ships out of the box with support for jQuery *library* (not a framework!). Mixing libraries is not usually a good thing to do. There are also frameworks, but Rails doesn’t have an opinion on these, which it really shouldn’t: - Backbone.js - AngularJS - EmberJS Coffeescript is an advanced dialect of JavaScript that is much more object-oriented, and (I think) easier to write. What plays best is often a matter of client-side application architecture, how you want to approach things, and how much of an opinionated framework you like to work with. Angular is certainly a viable option. Writing your Angular code in Coffeescript and placing it in the app/assets/javascript/ folder will make Rails very happy. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
