[Rails] Re: Javascript/Ajax questions for rails applications

Hi,
Not sure if I should start a new thread with the original question for
this one... this thread branched off to coffee script, I think it will
be awesome if we can get the sentiments of the folks here about the
questions put forth...

I don't know much about coffee script, and I am a follower in Rails
having not migrated to Rail3 either. What I know is that I don't like
going around the bush of things, and coffee script is that for me. So, I
want to use JS directly.

The question is: what is Rails' strategy for Javascript? I don't think
hiding it with things like RJS/CoffeeScript will yield good performing
apps. I am personally working to leverage JS directly, which gives me
the freedom at the client-side and the performance too. However, I am
not leveraging Rails enough that way. I, for example, use the Dojo
library; which is awesome for building a large app, though there is not
interworking with Rails that I know of. The original question above
mentioned libraries like backbone, require.js, etc. And in the mobile
space there is embed.js and others...

While I have Rails Conf videos on my TODO list to watch soon; can anyone
elaborate on what the direction is?
