Node.js Knockout 2011: CoffeeScript

I tried to investigate how many of the approximately 300 teams in the Node.js Knockout this weekend are using CoffeeScript: There is a team named "CoffeeScript is for Closures" but otherwise, I couldn't discover much yet. It should be possible to get a count by looking at the teams' repos after the event; if so, I will do a follow-up post listing the teams that competed with CoffeeScript, hopefully with some analysis of their performance.

Significantly, the nodeknockout.com site itself is coded in CoffeeScript (source here on GitHub, CoffeeScript and other dependencies listed here). If you haven't visited yet, check it out now for a real-time display of the action on the #nodeknockout IRC channel.
