Update to CoffeeScript v1.9.3 #16

Closed madskristensen closed 9 years ago

First of all, thanks for an awesome product. I've started using it in my latest Visual Studio extension https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/3b329021-cd7a-4a01-86fc-714c2d05bb6c and it rocks!!

Is there a chance to get support for the latest CoffeeScript compiler version 1.9.3?

tomlokhorst commented 9 years ago

Hey! I didn't know anyone was still using this, let alone for a new project. To be honest, I've not used it myself for years (which is why it's still at CoffeeScript version 1.3.1).

I'll have a look to see if I can update it. It involves resurrecting an old VM, so it it's a bit of work.

Out of curiosity; Have you looked at other methods of compiling CoffeeScript? I'm surprised that this old project is the one you like best. How did CoffeeScript compilation work for Web Essentials?

madskristensen commented 9 years ago

I've compiled using Windows Script Host and Node.js earlier. Web Essentials uses node.js.

So far, your project has been the easiest to work with. Spinning up a node.js server adds complexity and more moving parts that can (and will) fail. Would you recommend a different approach?

I don't have a better approach at the moment. And if it works, it works!

I've update the nuget package to CoffeeScript 1.9.3: http://www.nuget.org/packages/CoffeeSharp/ The small stuff I tried it on seems to work. Do let me know if something is broken.
