CoffeeScript

[btmills]

Can we get some input on whether CoffeeScript isn't going to be added or just hasn't been done correctly yet? There are two pull requests right now (#11 and #12) that attempt to add CoffeeScript, though I could see potential issues with each - nonstandard version and synchronous I/O, respectively. The version I've been using locally (and have pushed to my fork at btmills/serve):

• uses the standard CoffeeScript compiler
• reads the source file asynchronously
• detects .coffee or .js extensions (ex: <script src="foo.js"></script> will get the compiled version of foo.coffee)

I didn't want to send yet another pull request for the same feature until there was some feedback on what's really needed, though I think CoffeeScript support is definitely worth adding.

I looked into adding line/column reporting to syntax errors but went ahead and pushed the basic implementation with just the error message. It would be trivial for me to add line/column info and get rid of the compiler stack trace if this is worth pursuing.

Thanks.

Does that work if I use :coffeescript in jade files?
