Re: Create shadow site for expressjs.com with content/examples written completely in coffeescript?

1. you could simply use js2coffee.org. it's a nobrainer
2. you will have to deal with js. better start asap ;)
after little practice it's easy to convert js code to coffee on the fly.

I've been checking out Node and ExpressJS, and I'm really like it so far. But what's stopping me, and I assume many other coffeescript/python developers, from adopting the platform is the face I can't copy/paste or read easily all the examples and code from the docs and instructions. Everything has to be manually translated into coffeescript. You may be thinking "I hate coffeescript" (also I'm not sure what the feelings of the project creators are about coffeescript) but I believe its a tech here to stay and worth supporting. Coffeescript makes it very easy and accessible for those with a Python background to adopt Node platforms like Express, and having docs and examples written for it would be great.

I realize this is a non-trivial undertaking, but here is an implimentation idea: at the top of expressjs.com there should be 2 tabs, one that says "javascript" and another that says "coffeescript" and with a click of the button, a user could be transported back and forth between the shadow sites. If you like this idea and want to expand the ExpressJS/Node community, please consider giving some support to us, your bracket-less brothers in arms.

Hey Zak,

You could also take a pick at https://github.com/twilson63/express-coffee, It is a coffee-script template app for express-js.

And peepcode has a pretty good nodejs screencast and example using coffee-script.
