AMA. ;-)


How on earth did you manage to ship three Rails releases on the single nicest day of the year here in Seattle?

Also, serious question: is there a target release date for Rails 3.1.0?


As of right now, there are 6 open issues marked for the 3.1 milestone: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues?milestone=1&state=...

That number has fluctuated over the last few weeks, and there is essentially only one "old" one in there still (opened prior to June 16).

It's getting close...

Yes, as long as there are no crazy problems, I plan to release the final on August 30th.

EDIT: I meant to say the 30th! :-(

He prepared 'em several days ago, but was waiting on CVE numbers for the vulnerabilities the three releases fix.


"Barring any show stopping bugs, Rails 3.1.0 will be released on August 30th."


Ah, from the original source. Thanks!


Aaron, we're privileged to have you as a maintainer. Keep up the great work.


Thanks. I'm doing my best! :-)


I saw your talk on Rails at RailsConf and how to lower the stack depth of the middleware by using a standard interface. How's the progress? From someone who hasn't helped out Rails before and would like to, what can I do?


Progress is moving slowly. I'm not sure there's much I can ask you to do. The best thing is if I can lighten my other responsibilities, like bug fixes, etc. :-/


On a separate note, since you're a Ruby core committer, what do you think of the idea of adding CoffeeScript-ish style instance variable syntax for Ruby method definitions? Like this:

def tenderlove(@tenderness)

end


That syntax already works in blocks, so it will work with define_method ;)


Only in 1.8.

They seem better. Not sure if it's life changing though.


How all the nodejs fuss regarding performance is affecting Rails development ?


It isn't, as far as I can tell.
