I think this is a bit of an overreaction given that Rails has always been a "batteries included" framework. The fact that Rails allows for socket-like behaviour now is not a tipping point, but simply a nice little feature that may prove useful to some.

When Rails starts including a messaging stack, job server, and more, then I'd be right behind you in your complaint.

Actually, Rails 4 does include a job queue:

However, I'm not complaining. ;)

Well to be more accurate: it includes a job queue API with the actual implementation being pluggable. It does not do job queuing by itself. It's just like the cache API, actual implementation depends on the cache store.

True, thanks for the correction. The person I responded to said "job server" and I'm not 100% clear on what that would cover - perhaps job queue API would fit that description, perhaps it wouldn't.
