compile-to-js (e.g. coffeescript) support?

like, a cs>-style repl? gross, why encourage that :-p

[redchair123]

@ljharb saves me the need to install coffeescript :) The trend of writing sample code in CS rather than JS is somewhat disturbing

[ljharb]

To me, sample code in CS means "close the browser tab immediately".

In general, adding more REPLs might be a decent idea, but I think sticking with JS engines (of which CS is not) would be best.

Would CS even work through a medium like IRC?

In JavaScript, everything could go on one line (thanks, semicolons!) but CS is whitespace sensitive so you would have to use multi-line input and I would not want to be in a room where people were constantly sending 4-5 lines of code to the bot as examples.

I would not want to be in a room where people were using coffeescript

FTFY :)
