I think you'll have a hard time running their documentation through the Coffeescript compiler.

I know, I must have been reading way too quickly. I thought he believed the actual code had to be in CoffeeScript, so I was explaining that it can compile to relatively readable JavaScript. When I came back and reread my comment, I wanted to edit or delete it, but it was already past the two-hour mark. I do agree, it seems rather silly to have the docs for a JavaScript framework written in CoffeeScript.

As sort of an apology, I wrote up a little bookmarklet to translate the page into JavaScript at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3641217
