Rails volken: Do yourselves a favor, stop promoting stuff like this. It makes you look like Baby's First Web App.
I'd seen the Resque/DelayedJob stuff. The equivalent in Python-land are Celery and Carrot. They're probably not much different.

Creating defaults for this stuff is definitely cool, but OTOH, it's something we solved at my company with a single bash script ;)

I would hope not. I would think most serious programmers have a pretty smooth/fine-tuned pipeline for "save file, run script, see changes in $SERVER(s)"
>Good for you guys! That's going to be one hell of a bash script though, enjoy maintaining that.
Nope. Catenating files has been the privilege of Unix users since the 70s, that we would believe this to be difficult or complicated is embarrassing. The trickier part was sedding the query string that invalidates the old versions.
Using the query string to bust cache and replacing your assets on deploy is the simple solution that Rails' asset pipeline replaces.
Rails' asset pipeline doesn't delete old assets. That way you don't get inconsistencies when not all of your servers symlink to the new assets at the same moment.

Ooooh! Colour me embarrassed, you got me there champ!
