So in Rails best-practices, you'd still have 3 "languages", they'd just be spread around in 3 files. I'm a Haml fan, so I'd have a view template like: = paginate(@employees) %ul - @employees.each do |employee| %li = employee.first_name = employee.last_name and then a helper to fill out the "paginate", or some plugin to handle it for me, and finally an unobtrusive js file. So I get 3 languages. The only real WTF I see here is the "onClick", and for an example in some documentation about a framework, its forgivable. Could also be broken up into separate files, because the pagination part is a bit complex for a view. Again, though, its a documentation example, on the paginator helper, no less.
