Please add CoffeeScript Syntax Higlighting, Compiling and Debugging
CoffeeScript is a very helpful language that helps to write "clean" Javascript. It would be very cool to have syntax higlighting and a compiler, that emits javascript files. The debugger should be able to debug the original CoffeeScript file while the underlying javascript file is processed
CoffeeScript editor will be included in Web Tools 2012.2 RTM

Cool for doing the first part, I saw it in your Tech Ed Talk.
But how can an App work if there's no integration of the CoffeScript Compiler? It would be cool to have this as an Bundling&Minification Step (as an extension for example?)
And how can an developer work with it when it's not debuggable? Yes you can debug the resulting JavaScript, but aren't there any better options?
