A TextMate Bundle for CoffeeScript

A TextMate bundle that adds CoffeeScript syntax highlighting, build commands, and snippets. Also works with Sublime Text 2. This is a historical artifact — CoffeeScript peaked around 2012-2014 and TextMate hasn't been a mainstream editor for years.

Covers the basics well for its era: syntax highlighting, inline compile/eval commands, symbol listing for functions, and a reasonable set of snippets for common CoffeeScript patterns (comprehensions, bound functions, classes). The Literate CoffeeScript grammar is a nice touch given how niche that variant was. From jashkenas himself, so it tracked language changes accurately when it was maintained.

Last commit was 2018 — CoffeeScript itself is functionally dead, and this bundle predates it. No VS Code support, which is where anyone who still writes CoffeeScript would be working today. Sublime Text 2 compatibility is advertised but that's a nine-year-old editor version. The screenshot links to a dead S3 URL. There is no reason to adopt this in 2024.
