CoffeeScript support in the editor
Let's add support for CoffeeScript to your favorite text editor. This step is optional, but I heartily recommend it. At a minimum, these plugins will provide syntax highlighting for CoffeeScript files, which I find very helpful. In addition, most plugins integrate with the editor to allow you to run or compile CoffeeScript snippets without leaving the editor. You don't need these features, but you may find them convenient.
Tip
We'll discuss CoffeeScript support in some of the most popular editors, but there are plugins available for many more. A full list is available on the CoffeeScript wiki at https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script/wiki/Text-editor-plugins/.
