CoffeeScript: one week review

These are the lessons I've learned so far with CoffeeScript.

1. JCoffeeScript works well in a Java environment.

2. If you are using eclipse, make a shortcut key (I use all the control + w), to show/hide whitespace.

3. Make sure if you cut and paste code, you consistentize it -> I prefer switching all spaces to tabs. Coffeescript indentation is based on the quantity of whitespace, not the type, so what appears as a 4 char tab really is just one whitespace to CS. Keep them all in a row.

4. I don't really have a good plugin yet for eclipse to understand coffee script.
