You can also see on the "Contributors" graph a major increase in CoffeeScript contributions in the past year or so: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/graphs/contributors https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/graphs/contributor... A bunch of people helped out: https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/wiki/CoffeeScript-2-Honor-Roll https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/wiki/CoffeeScript-... And GeoffreyBooth coordinated the effort, posting regular status updates & calls for help, handling bugs / feature requests, etc. I didn't realize he was also writing most of the code! CoffeeScript2 started with a manifesto at https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss https://github.com/coffeescript6/discuss which turned into a cooperative effort with jashkenas to move CoffeeScript forward in a responsible way. An interesting story in its own right.
