Very interesting information. Definitely going to have a look at a few gems after this. Thanks for sharing.<p>On a side note, HAML is the best example of technology for technologies sake. It adds a small amount of value while adding the complexity of a new language. I've never felt the "juice was worth the squeeze" so to speak. Curious as to why it has the following that it does.
I put this together yesterday, with help from the ten winning teams. It's kind of like the occasional HN post that looks at hosting decisions made by YC companies. Maybe I'm just a gems geek, but I find this sort of thing fascinating.
Seeing it listed in this way reminds me of all the moving parts in actually getting an app online.<p>I'm glad I finally (mostly) have a grip on it all but boy did it take a while.
jquery and bootstrap are great for putting together a rails app really quick, but I wish there was a better way that didn't add bloat. I find that jquery and bootstrap add significant download latency to a webpage even if they are gzipped.
