I'm using coffeescript for my current node.js project, starting the project with the following command (inside my project folder)
coffee app.coffee
Which starts the node application. I am, however, at a loss as to how node.js can interact with the coffeescript - is it compiled to a temporary folder?
Do this:
cat `which coffee`
And you'll see that coffee is actually a node script, which compiles your .coffee file and then runs it.
