Congratulations on launching! I applied to YC a few years ago with a similar concept. Your site looks gorgeous, and I'm excited to see it develop. I hope you succeed in disrupting …

I believe the company talbina's thinking of is mine: We applied as Theoryville, got interviewed, got rejected, applied to Betaspring ( http://betaspring.com/ ), got accepted, chang…

They said it couldn't be done, but CoffeeScript bumped Objective-C down to #11. Of course, I think it's fair to say that there's more Obj-C code than CoffeeScript being written, bu…

This is an excellent idea, and is the goal of a project that Google announced at JSConf 2011 with much fanfare (some of it from Brendan Eich himself), Traceur: http://code.google.c…

What's really nice about the compiler being in JavaScript is that you can run JavaScript anywhere: in the browser, on any OS, embedded in any major web framework. If the compiler w…

That's a good idea. Michael, you should look into doing a run of CoffeeScript coffee mugs. These ones were much-loved and are no longer available: http://www.etsy.com/listing/93595…

I'm pledging $1,000 to this. As the author of the PragProg book on CoffeeScript ( http://pragprog.com/book/tbcoffee/coffeescript ), I have a stake in making CoffeeScript a more mai…

Not a very good deal, given Codeschool's $25/month unlimited access membership plan.

Intermediate. It would work well as the second book you read on JavaScript (or, given the way most devs come to JavaScript, the book you read after reading a book on jQuery). But t…

May I mention that I have an entire book on this subject coming out in March? http://leanpub.com/asyncjs/

I'm the author, ask me anything. A sample chapter on Promises, focusing on their implementation in jQuery (1.5+), is available now: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/869786663/as…

Apple provides very little documentation when it comes to embedding HTML in an iBook, so I hit a lot of walls when trying to get the examples running for CoffeeScript: An Interacti…

Thanks! I'm planning to add syntax highlighting in the next update.

I'm the author of both this and the PragProg book ( http://pragprog.com/book/tbcoffee/coffeescript ). I wanted to offer a more succinct guide to the language that would quickly add…
