Rails Asset Pipeline: Defunct or Da Funk
summary
Claims that the Rails asset pipeline still outperforms sprawling Grunt/Gulp setups by using Sprockets for granular dependency management and staged bundles. Demonstrates using Rails asset pipeline with Bootstrap Sass, embedded CoffeeScript/eco and Skim templates, Backbone or Angular precompilation, and integrations like sprockets dependency graph and AMD/CommonJS shims. Shows concrete fixes: ng-min compatibility via ng-min-rails, sprockets stubbing to avoid duplicate jquery, and Heroku caching behavior; outcome is smaller bundles and faster client loads.
