Herding Code podcast: Trevor Burnham on CoffeeScript
- TrevorBurnham 15y agoThis podcast was recorded about three weeks ago. A couple of things that have happened since then that surprised me: 1. I was asked about CoffeeScript and CouchDB. To my surprise (and delight), it's since been announced that CoffeeScript support will be integrated into CouchDB 1.2 (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-817 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-817). 2. I was asked whether there's a JavaScript-to-CoffeeScript compiler. I said no, and there probably never would be... then js2coffee appeared (which is quite good, though the code it generates doesn't always have the same behavior as the original JS): http://ricostacruz.com/js2coffee/ http://ricostacruz.com/js2coffee/ Also, I was asked at the end if I had any upcoming speaking engagements. At the time, I didn't. I'm now scheduled to talk about CoffeeScript at the O'Reilly Web 2.0 Expo in NYC in October, and at Øredev in Sweden in November. So, things are moving pretty fast in CoffeeScriptland. My book (http://pragprog.com/titles/tbcoffee/coffeescript http://pragprog.com/titles/tbcoffee/coffeescript) was PragProg's #1 seller last month. Who knows what the next three weeks will bring?
