It is worth pointing out that you're talking to the dude who wrote Jammit. The asset pipeline was not an innovation in or by Rails3.

- wycats 14y agoThe idea of asset packaging, of course, is not innovative. Jeremy's original claim was that Rails was put on hold. Integrating an asset pipeline solution into Rails took time and commits, and providing an ecosystem-wide solution for something like this has a strong impact on the overall productivity of the ecosystem.
- dasil003 14y agoI know who Jeremy is, and my question is legit. Innovation is a loaded term, and has nothing to do with the question of Rails stagnating. Rails is known for the nice packaging of good ideas, not for brand new ideas. I think you could argue the same about Node or 99.99% of all software since new ideas are extremely rare as are really good quality implementations. So in all I seriousness, I want to know where he feels Rails is lagging.
