[Boulder Ruby Group] rendering now!

[Bruce Williams]

Ara,

Nice writeup.

I agree that something like render! would be useful in edge cases (I
hit double renders once in a very big blue moon) -- but in this case,
with all respects to your DRY skills and to Doug's opinions, I still
hold a filter is the best approach to the problem, and is surely
cleaner.

As to Doug's second issue; it's not something I've ever encountered in
my memory -- and since both of us have been using Rails for a "long
time" (as these things are measured), that's probably simply because
we approach problems differently.

In fact, I rarely need to render two different templates for an
action, though your authentication example is an exception.

Cheers,
Bruce
