I occasionally try #RubyMine for refactoring or #CoPilot integration, and generally regret it. What are some #vim friendly tools for refactoring, #AI integration (esp. for #TDD or #HAML automation), and so forth? ALE by itself doesn't quite do it for me, but that could just be user error or lack of knowledge. 😇

Which Ruby templating engine do you think (or know) would be more accessible to new Rubyists or drive-by contributors?
#ruby #erb #haml #slim #phlex

@davetron5000 true about ORMs, ActiveRecord was really bad with undocumented Arel functions that are actually quite powerful for complex queries.

Not sure #HAML is in this category as it's a direct translation, just a better syntax than verbose #HTML. At least I'm not aware of anything that can't be represented by it.

Called it. I didn't expect "the future" to mean "four days from now", but whatever.

Just a loose web-dev question:

I have never used Haml or SCSS. They are becoming more common in guides online. Is it worth it? Aside from efficient code (which is definitely a bonus), are there other benefits to these, or other options?

I'm not a designer and don't write more than about 15-20 pages in a year. I achieve what I want with plain old HTML/CSS so far. But I'm making more web-art and see there are tidy ways to do things with SCSS/Haml.
