Did you guys try to move to haml/sass from the existing view templates/stylesheets? Would like to know if you guys had good success rate moving to haml on a big existing project...



We use Sass, but not Haml. We have been on Sass for a couple years, so it wasn't much of an impact to the upgrade in that regard.


Great. How long did the move take? I'm assuming u started during the beta days of rails 3 and eventually made it to 3.0.1?


Unlike Shopify, we did not start during the beta days. Certainly we were aware of what was going on and experimented, but our Rails3 branch didn't exist since the spring or anything.

Looking through our git logs, I believe early September is when we really started to look at Rails 3 in earnest. We landed the branch in the second week of November. The code work was a solid month plus, and we spent nearly as much calendar time, and probably more actual person-hours, in testing and fixing thereafter.
