coughy v0.0.1
Why Coughy? Well, CoffeeScript gives JavaScript a much more palatable syntax. Of course, each of your projects include the lovely [http://underscorejs.org/] library, however, pre-pending =_.= makes your code look crummy.
Coughy is quite wrong in that it places the Underscore library into the global name space. /WHAT!?/ Yes. Just look at this beautiful code:
#+BEGIN_SRC coffee
Sum the squares that are less than 25... right, it is 30.
reduce( map( range(5), (x) -> x * x ), (total, cur) -> total + cur ) #+END_SRC
Why do this? This certainly isn't for everyone, or every project, but for working on [http://projecteuler.net/], or teaching programming concepts, this seems like an acceptable solution.
** Installation
As usual, you can take advantage of this project by adding this to your normal Node-related project:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh npm install coughy #+END_SRC
Now, you can create scripts that use those functions directly:
#+BEGIN_SRC js require('coughy'); #+END_SRC
Note: You do not need to assign the results of the coughy module *because , it is already placed in the global namespace.
** REPL Sweetness
By using the [http://danielgtaylor.github.io/nesh/], we can make pre-load /coughy/ in order to make a better REPL:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh npm install -g nesh #+END_SRC
Then, create a Shell function like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh nesh --lang coffee --eval 'node_modules/coughy/coughy.js' #+END_SRC
Where =coughy.js= needs to be the filename to the magic script that provides this pleasing abomination.
** Futures
Think of this... An even more functional approach to development is with something like the immutable data structures available from [http://swannodette.github.io/mori/] ... However, since Mori's functions overlap with Underscore (but seem to be more general), I may just swap it.
