Build Realtime Apps with Ruby & Pakyow
summary
Pakyow claims realtime, server-driven Ruby apps without writing JavaScript and proves it with a demo blog: live active reader and comment updates sent as serialized UI transformations over websockets and applied by a small client library ring.js. The framework records the same presenter rendering used on the server, ships the diff-like instructions, and applies minimal DOM changes. Realtime is an enhancement that falls back to full HTML; realtime features ship after about two years of work and six months of public use in production.
