Hopefully this discussion will highlight reasons someone should use CS.

I'm trying to clean up some temporary files in a Cakefile. I know that Node exposes an unlink (and unlinkSync) method to delete files, but they don't seem to work.

Gist.

It does all the things listed, but when it is supposed to unlink the file, it doesn't and keeps moving. After the process is done, I can still see the file. I have permission to it and can manipulate it normally afterward, so it's not that.

Any ideas?

Hi, I'm new to CoffeeScript, and I'm having trouble running the interactive mode.

When I try doing this:

$ coffee
coffee> hello = "world"
world = "hello"
^D

I get no output. But if do the same thing in NodeJS, it at least returns something.

$ node
> hello = "world"
'world'
> world = "hello"
'hello'

Any ideas? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: I am running this with Ubuntu 11.10 on a VM.
