Rewrite JUMLY's site on Node.js from Ruby
JUMLY is a JavaScript library product I've been improving these years.
The core is written in coffee-script, but the site was originally built on Sinatra in Ruby. Sinatra is an innovative product which affects many frameworks, and I like Ruby very much :) And also there are good libraries to help building site in Ruby like sprockets, kramdown, sass, and haml.
But as a developer, I'm interested in Node.js now since the time Meteor was releeased. I made decision to re-write JUMLY's site in JS and searched helpful libraries in JS instead of the libraries in Ruby.
Followings are them I used for each Ruby library.
-
Node.js http://nodejs.org/ for Ruby
-
express http://expressjs.com/ for Sinatra
- connect-assets https://github.com/TrevorBurnham/connect-assets.git for Sprockets
- snockets https://github.com/TrevorBurnham/snockets for Sprockets, seems to be used by connect-assets
-
less http://lesscss.org/ for sass(scss)
-
markdown-js https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js.git for kramdown
-
jade http://jade-lang.com/ for haml
