In it he discusses some of the features he misses in WebObjects/Tapestry style components such as re-usable view logic, component composition and binding parameters.

I know another rails developer (who I’ll leave anonymous to save him from the shame of being associated with java ;) ) that also wanted a way to create Tapestry style components in Rails but I’ve not heard him mention that side project again so I’m assuming it still hasn’t been done.

Does anyone know of any ruby projects that might help save MysteryCoder some time / effort before he gets too far trying to develop something like this? (or reasoning that shows how Rails doesn’t need this particular component feature?)
