Can you elaborate a little on how Coffeescript works in your setup? I was thinking of trying 0.4 out but I wasn't sure how exactly that language (which I use daily) might fit in.


It was plug-and-play! :D Here's a screenshot of it just working: http://www.fixpunk.com/notes/?attachment_id=78 My setup is nothing elaborate: I have set watch commands on my coffee directories and work with a node server running.


Awesome! I'm trying to visualize how some of the features from the Javascript video in OPs post (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtXpOD6jFls) would work. Are you using it as a straight editor or are you able to take advantage of the killer LightTable features in conjunction with Coffeescript (perhaps the new source-maps stuff takes care of it)?


Yeah, I haven't seen the realtime eval work in Coffeescript - I have to save the file and refresh the browser. That said--the awareness of the workspace environment really blew me away and pays off in tab completion.
