Hey boys, just wanted to let you know I published a post about  
ActiveHelper [1] , a framework I released earlier this week to clean-  
up helpers and put them back to classes using delegation and  
inheritance.

The post [2] studies briefly how rails’ own helpers could be cleaned  
up with ActiveHelper. Consider it as an RFC, i’m waiting for comments,  
critics, proposals etc as I really wanna improve rails (although i  
keep grumbling 'bout it 😉

cheers,

nick

Ugh, I could have really used this 48 hours ago 🙂 Thanks and Kudos.
