The latest release of coffeescript has a new Literate "mode": if you use
the extension .litcoffee it is also treated as markdown! This is a modern

Haskell is a wonderful language. But it is (obviously) functional, which
means no side effects. The primary purpose of a language like JavaScript is
to produce side-effects that change the DOM and what is displayed by a
browser. How does Fay get around that seeming incompatibility in objectives?

Haskell deals with
That's fine, but it seems strange to promote a language because one of its
features lets you work around its primary objective.

I should not let this slip-by without acknowledging that this is a
functional program. +1 for that
