Compile a non-coffeescript version?

[Dascrilla]

Any way thats possible?

+1 for this. I write in pure JS, but this is so awesome I'm almost tempted to learn CoffeeScript just to use it.

Any way to get a pure JS version?

exactly what @nicholasalanbrown said! super nice work.

This would almost certainly be a fork and not maintained by me. I prefer coffeescript in a big way.

I'd be happy to help someone who wants to take the lead.

I did a fork and used js2.coffee compiler to get vanilla javascript.

The project seems to be working fine, I'll need to review the syntax of those generated .js files.

Convert to js

  git clone https://github.com/yogiben/meteor-starter.git

  npm install -g coffee-script

  find meteor-starter -name "*.coffee" -exec coffee -b --no-header -c {} \;

  # Replace .coffee in all package.js
  find meteor-starter -name "package.js" -exec sed -i 's/\.coffee/\.js/' {} \;

  # Backup coffee file to coffee.save
  for i in `find meteor-starter -name "*.coffee"`; do mv $i $i.save; done
  # OR delete
  for i in `find meteor-starter -name "*.coffee"`; do rm -f $i; done

@yogiben after looking deeper into the efficiencies of a JavaScript workflow, you've totally converted me. I'm using you're original repo now. Good thing I didn't get too far into this project :-)

@nicholasalanbrown haha great to hear!
