"The Asset Pipeline

The star feature of 3.1 is the asset pipeline powered by Sprockets 2.0. It makes CSS and JavaScript first-class code citizens and enables proper organization, including use in plugins and engines. See my RailsConf keynote for a full tour. This comes with SCSS as the default for stylesheets and CoffeeScript as the default for JavaScript. Much documentation is on the way for this."

something like this would be nice in Tapestry - at least a way to automatically generate a single JS file to increase load speed would be important as a core-feature.
