Limited-on-purpose technologies can be a great teaching aid.
But they aren't so great when it comes time to get work done. You shouldn't be fighting the language. The language should enable you to do what you need, cleanly, without getting in your way.

You can use any crazy ruby you so desire, but at the same time, you can also build clean, documented mustache-style views. I'm hesitant to say it's the best of both worlds, but thus far it actually has been.
