How on earth did you manage to ship three Rails releases on the single nicest day of the year here in Seattle? Also, serious question: is there a target release date for Rails 3.1.0?

  Haha! I am a glutton for punishment, that is how. Also I plan to drink beer shortly. Yes, as long as there are no crazy problems, I plan to release the final on August 30th. EDIT: I meant to say the 30th! :-( http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core/msg/f47f9e4a4cdaabd2 http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core/msg/f47f9e4a...

  As of right now, there are 6 open issues marked for the 3.1 milestone: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues?milestone=1&state=open https://github.com/rails/rails/issues?milestone=1&state=... That number has fluctuated over the last few weeks, and there is essentially only one "old" one in there still (opened prior to June 16). It's getting close...

  He prepared 'em several days ago, but was waiting on CVE numbers for the vulnerabilities the three releases fix.

On a separate note, since you're a Ruby core committer, what do you think of the idea of adding CoffeeScript-ish style instance variable syntax for Ruby method definitions? Like this: def tenderlove(@tenderness) end
- tenderlove 15y ago
  They seem better. Not sure if it's life changing though.
- wycats 15y ago
  That syntax already works in blocks, so it will work with define_method ;)

I saw your talk on Rails at RailsConf and how to lower the stack depth of the middleware by using a standard interface. How's the progress? From someone who hasn't helped out Rails before and would like to, what can I do?
- tenderlove 15y ago
  Progress is moving slowly. I'm not sure there's much I can ask you to do. The best thing is if I can lighten my other responsibilities, like bug fixes, etc. :-/

How all the nodejs fuss regarding performance is affecting Rails development ?

  It isn't, as far as I can tell.
