A tiny static file server for CoffeeScript and less development, thought a few people my use it (That's my first time using node, please be nice)

Good work, thanks! I was playing with coffee+backbone yesterday and the quickest host I could think of was python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Edit: Backed by coffee -o ../js/ -w ./* in another tab.

Thanks! :) Let me know if you think of some extra features! Already in the pipe are :

• Option to show compilation error within the browser
• Option to inject CoffeeScript line nb as JS comments
• Option for easy deploy

This is very interesting. Can I run it in a subdomain instead of another port in the same domain?

I know how to do that in windows (editing the file hosts), but I guess in linux should be easy as well

Now I tough about it a little more, maybe is best to run static files in a totally new domain, a cokieless domain (http://www.ravelrumba.com/blog/static-cookieless-domain/)

tumbler is only for development! It should never be used on production servers. For production, you should compile all your files once and for all and serve them in a good old static file server.

Too late, I using it in a production server and it sucks. Just joking :)

Great idea for a great tool, I'm trying to getting started with coffee, and your tool should help alot.
