Choices are kind of antithetical to rails's core philosophy of convention over configuration.

Choices are kind of antithetical to rails's core philosophy of convention over configuration.
- jarin 16y agoI think it is requiring the user to make a choice that is antithetical. You can change pretty much all of the defaults in Rails.
- stanleydrew 16y agoAgreed, and that is indeed what I meant. Coffeescript has always been a choice in the sense that I could download the compiler and use the output in my rails project.
- sabat 16y agoIt will remain a choice. Rails doesn't obliterate choices, just makes it easier if you're willing to take defaults. On the other hand, replacements for default components (e.g. Rspec vs. default Test::Unit) are generally simple to drop in.
