Someone needs to make something like Eloquent Javascript [1] for CoffeeScript. The digital version of Eloquent JS has a console at the bottom so you can do the exercises without leaving the page. It sounds minor but when I was first learning javascript this solved a huge pain point.

- jashkenas 15y agoLove the irony. This book is a (heavily altered) version of Marijn's Eloquent JavaScript ... rewritten for CoffeeScript. As an aside, it's a pretty amazing demonstration of what releasing your work under a Creative Commons license can bring about. It's a great suggestion. @autotelicum -- have you considered adding a little interactive console to the page?
