Coffee-Script

Coffee Script Nodejs Debugging

We use CoffeeScript extensively in the GigStamp codebase at the moment. Initially we used watchers to compile the coffee-script in to JavaScript and then the app would run on the compiled code. But as the code has grown in to several node modules it became awkward to be watching and compiling the various separate parts so we started running it directly.

This however has brought up a few complexities as we are running transpiled code. Debugging the code has been one of those complexities.
