Rails 3.2 ships with a simple FileWatcher that only reloads your app if any of the files changed.

Besides, it also provides a mechanism to hook up your own file watcher mechanism, so we can use tools like FSSM that hooks into Mac OS X fsevents. This is an example on how to hook your own mechanism (you need Rails master, soon to be Rails 3.2):

Copy the 2_file_watcher.rb file below to lib/file_watcher.rb
Add the following inside your Application in config/application.rb

if Rails.env.development?

JavaScript Class Syntax

Let's build a JavaScript class syntax from first principles. For the purpose of this exercise, let's assume that the purpose of the class syntax is to add much-needed sugar to common JavaScript idioms.

Let's start with how JavaScript "classes" work today:

// this is a constructor
Person = function() {
 this // `this` is a new instance of Person

This gist is no longer valid. Please see Compass-Rails for instructions on how to install.
