nodejs express 3.0 app.use does it get called

I am using Express 3.x and when I put

express = require("express")
routes = require("./routes")
http = require("http")
path = require("path")
app = express()
app.configure ->
    app.set "port", process.env.PORT or 3000
    app.set "views", __dirname + "/views"
    app.set "view engine", "jade"
    app.use express.favicon()
    app.use express.logger("dev")
    app.use express.bodyParser()
    app.use express.methodOverride()
    app.use app.router
    app.use express.static(path.join(__dirname, "public"))

app.use (req,res,next)->
    res.locals.name = "Jesse"
    next()


app.use "/", (req,res,next)->
    res.locals.name = "Jesse"

app.configure "development", ->
    app.use express.errorHandler()

app.get "/", routes.index

http.createServer(app).listen app.get("port"), ->
    console.log "Express server listening on port " + app.get("port")

and my View is

extends layout

block content
  h1= title
  p Welcome to #{title}
  p Hello Mr #{name}

I am expecting the first middleware(app.use) to get called every time the get request comes in, but it doesn't happen. Is there any change from express2.x?

This is from the express 3.x directory and it is commented
