I always thought it would be cool if CoffeeScript's generated JS code added Closure Compiler annotations, such as @const and @param types. Let the user minify/optimize the generated JS using their favorite tools.

This fork of CoffeeScript does: https://github.com/jstrachan/coffee-script/blob/master/TypeA.... I for one would also love it if this got rolled into mainline. I use Closure at work, and I'd love to be using CoffeeScript with it.


Thanks! I hadn't seen this "UberScript" before, though I was kinda hoping the Closure annotations could be inferred "for free" without changes to the CoffeeScript language. <:)


Automatically annotating JavaScript code for JSDoc would really helpful.
