nice, strangely the github repository only shows the .js source, not the .coffee source. makes it hard to fork. (or it was written in js, then this would be a rather strange approach)

Looking at the source[1], it does actually seem to be written in javascript.

you are right, does not look like coffee-compiled-js. schräg. ("schräg" is german for "strange, baffling")

Well, one of the reasons why I wrote the REPL was to learn CoffeeScript. However, I soon realized my JavaScript knowledge was lacking, so I decided to write the REPL in JavaScript to learn/practice.

Porting the REPL to CoffeeScript will be Phase 2.
