I'm the author of the PragProg book on CoffeeScript (http://pragprog.com/book/tbcoffee/coffeescript http://pragprog.com/book/tbcoffee/coffeescript), and I run @CoffeeScript on Twitter. It's always fun to see a "CoffeeScript rocks" article like this explode on HN and Twitter. But it's even better to see stuff that people are building in CoffeeScript. The language has reached the point where it's gaining real traction in production settings, and not just among the beautiful code addicts at 37signals. There was a YC job posting about a week ago for a "CoffeeScript drinking frontend engineer" (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2877677 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2877677); they're also using CoffeeScript for a Node.js server, and even for MongoDB queries. I'm really excited to see that become a more common occurrence.
