Excellent work Jashkenas! I think what would really let you achieve liftoff (and a book deal with a tech publisher) would be a Sinatra-like framework based on this. The Sinatra core is very small and has wowed a lot of people, replicating it so that people are using coffeescript serverside and also in the client would be amazing. I imagine a 300 page book equally divided between the language, server-side and client-side would sell really well with a 1.0 release. I can easily picture a rails-like ecosystem (with associated business and publishing opportunities) surrounding this in the future.
- grayrest 17y agoThere's no real shortage of sinatra clones for js: http://www.fabjs.org/ http://www.fabjs.org/ http://code.quirkey.com/sammy/ http://code.quirkey.com/sammy/ http://github.com/visionmedia/express/ http://github.com/visionmedia/express/ and there's no real trick to using them: require 'express' require 'express/plugins' configure -> use MethodOverride use ContentLength set 'root', __dirname get '/hello', -> @contentType('html') '<h1>Hello World </h1>' get '/user/:id?', (id) -> @render 'user.haml.html', { locals: { name: if id? then 'User '+id else 'You' } }
