Ask HN: Rails / Grunt integration – how?
Long time Rails[1] user. Have discovered Npm[2], Bower[3], Grunt[4], Yeoman[5] recently. How do I get these excellent tools to play nicely with the Rails ecosystem[6]? Notably Sprockets[7] and Grunt do not seem to see eye to eye?
What strategies have you used? Would love to know.

We looked at a couple of other integrations. rails-assets.org was the only one that did't require adding extra parts that need to get managed. Time spent managing multiple packaging systems is time not spent doing productive work.
