# Oftentimes, we want to create lists of things that have something in
# common. For example we may have a list of objects, each with a
# name. We want to count how many times each name occurs. We could do
# so with a hash, like this:

h = {}
a.each{|o|
  # make sure there's a value here
  h[o.name] ||= 0
  h[o.name] += 1

# Two things are important to note: 
#
# 1) The code is fugly, because it was a JavaScript/iPad experiment. 
#    I know that it is ugly, so pretty please don't comment on that part.
# 2) I tried to use as many CoffeeScript features as possible,
#    including but not limited to list comprehensions,
#    heredocs, destructuring assignment and also the "do" operator
#
# I welcome comments about stuff that is not CoffeeScripty enough, or what I should
# write differently.

UPDATE: Please see some of the forks for an updated version of this guide. I
myself have moved onto the Rails 3.1 betas to get the asset pipeline. But if
you want to stay on stable there are other folks who are keeping this guide
relevant despite the changes constantly occurring on Sprockets 2. The comments
on this gist will lead you to the right forks. :)

Some brief instructions on how to use Sprocket 2 in Rails to get CoffeeScript
powered JS and SASS powered CSS with YUI compression all via the magic of rack.

This stuff will be native in Rails 3.1 and the layout of the files on the
