Converted to Jade... for science #2

I made a fork and converted the HTML to Jade. (CoffeeScript and Jade and very nice together). I thought you guys might be interested in what it looks like.

I don't expect you to merge it, nor would it make sense too. Maybe a jade branch.

What's interesting is:

it's about a 27% reduction in LoC
reduction in double curlies (+thing over {{> thing}})

Less typing, more readability. Just like CoffeeScript in my opinion.

Compare / Branch

Cheers

PS: Was there a reason you used HTML over Jade? For designers or something else?

Yeah, sorta hypocritical to use coffee but not jade :)

I think when we started with Meteor we either didn't know about the jade package, or it didn't exist yet. In any case, it's hard to stop a rolling stone... once we started using HTML, we kept using HTML :)
