Rubini.us is looking like it's starting to gain a really solid community behind it. I'm looking forward to switching to it in the near future (probably if/when Heroku starts supporting it)<p>This article is making me wish could make CoffeeScript run within the Rubinius VM, and have access to the same objects and libraries of my Rails app.<p>Wish I had time to build that. Maybe someone smarter than me with some free cycles could take this project on :-)
