Hi,
Not sure if I should start a new thread with the original question for 
this one... this thread branched off to coffee script, I think it will 
be awesome if we can get the sentiments of the folks here about the 
questions put forth...

I don't know much about coffee script, and I am a follower in Rails 
having not migrated to Rail3 either. What I know is that I don't like 
going around the bush of things, and coffee script is that for me. So, I 
want to use JS directly.

The question is: what is Rails' strategy for Javascript? I don't think 
hiding it with things like RJS/CoffeeScript will yield good performing 
apps. I am personally working to leverage JS directly, which gives me 
the freedom at the client-side and the performance too. However, I am 
not leveraging Rails enough that way. I, for example, use the Dojo 
library; which is awesome for building a large app, though there is not 
interworking with Rails that I know of. The original question above 
mentioned libraries like backbone, require.js, etc. And in the mobile 
space there is embed.js and others...

While I have Rails Conf videos on my TODO list to watch soon; can anyone 
elaborate on what the direction is?
