Hey everyone! Dashing creator here. Thanks for the frontpage :) I have good news for you all. Dashing will be evolving soon to support multiple backends. Already there are ports being written for python, perl, .net, and also better rails integration. Stay tuned! P.S: Sorry for the downtime. Was not expecting frontpage. While I work on getting it stable, enjoy this screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/321Y2V361X1r

How do I stay tuned for the Python version?

Ah, found it: https://github.com/evolvedlight/pydashie

that's awful. css and some javascript? do we really need anymore head-up-arse code junk floating around our heads right now? every five minutes there is a new javascript plugin/distraction that claims to change our lives. When will you people get a life and start solving real problems?

frankenstein coding, glue this sinatra dashboard to you php symfony "instance" and upload to s3. why waste our time? where are the integration points for this and who is really going to use it? Do i pitch this to my boss?

I did. And he said build it! We did, and employees have commented that they like the daily visibility in to company metrics they previously knew very little about.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

yeah, probably. Dunno if it's a good thing, that people start with a transcompiled language...

That's just an implementation detail. CoffeeScript has syntax and semantics every bit as valid as JS's.

True story. JavaScript seems like a mix of C and Scheme CoffeeScript seems like a mix of Ruby and Python
