I don't know ruby... but RoR is an established platform, I would think it would have something similar?
Not with the same notion of inheritance that django templates have (with multiple blocks that can be overridden in child classes). There is one project someone attempted but never finished.

#62Very cool. I was just looking for other Seaside-style web frameworks today. The "natural style" mode in Tir is just like the main way to build web apps in Seaside. Aside from Lua and Smalltalk, what other languages could host this kind of framework? I know Ruby 1.9 has Wee, but that doesn't seem to be "ready for prime time."
I have posted some Continuity code here before (see http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1686177 & http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1006071).
Also check out Squatting (http://search.cpan.org/dist/Squatting/) which is a RESTful MVC micro framework which (by default) sits on top of Continuity.

Template inheritance. See http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/templates/#id1 `Template inheritance¶ The most powerful -- and thus the most complex -- part of Django's template engine is template inheritance. Template inheritance allows you to build a base "skeleton" template that contains all the common elements of your site and defines blocks that child templates can override.` Having made it in lua myself,…
this is awesome, feel like writing it for ruby too?

Since we're all bragging, I finished my MSCS at Stanford with over a 4.0 GPA, wrote a game that was a finalist in the CS248 competition, had my first paper published, TAed CS210, launched my startup, learned Django and CoffeeScript and JavaScript, wrote a charting library in CS/Raphael, started learning how to be someone's boss, and moved across the country and forced myself to make friends. All in all I feel good ab…
Over a 4.0 GPA? Man, are grades that badly inflated now that they have to add extra points to the GPA to make people seem better? No knock on you at all, but just curious what the scale is.

Isn't this just content_for/yield(:sym)? Or are you talking about something else? http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/Captur...

#67So in 2010 Zed has written his own web server which runs his new framework he wrote for the new webapp he wrote. What did you do this year?
Launched wildlifenearyou.com, built a new commenting system for guardian.co.uk (with a great team), ran a marathon, got married, went on a six month honeymoon through France, Spain, Morocco and Egypt, co-founded and launched lanyrd.com with my wife (from an apartment in Casablanca), learnt to scuba dive, and we're now on a self-drive safari in South Africa. 2010 has been /awesome/.

* Grew my main business, had our first year where I've not had a single worry about running out of money (touch wood) in the middle of a serious recession.
* Started building academic and vendor relationships (never thought I'd do that) to develop new technologies and services.
* Did more vulnerability research this year than I have in the last two but haven't published anything public yet.
* Moved to Sales, Marketing, now back to Technical for the time being.
* Took on a business partner and mentor
* Bid for two research grants
* Built up pipeline, wrote more proposals than I have in a long time.
* Seriously damaged my knee in a freak dancing accident.
* Grew a Mo to support Prostate Cancer charities (and raised a few bob too)
* Started a proper non-security side project (http://www.minklinks.com/) - failed to get it into beta for HN November but it will be out before year end.
* Did a whole load of pentesting.
That's it so far, still more things to come before year end though. Hope I pull them off.
