Hi.
Don't mean to be a CoffeeScript hater, but it's so frustrating to browse through Atmosphere and find package after package that violate the First Principle of Meteor: Pure Javascript.

It would be really great to have a filter of some type that lets us only see Javascript, Coffeescript, or All packages.

What's the problem with coffeescript? It gets compiled to javascript before sent to the client (more efficiently than hand-written code)...

I only use packages with a vanilla mrt add foo about half the time. The other half of the time, I clone the package contents directly into my application and edit the contents directly. To do that with coffeescript packages, I have to run them through http://js2coffee.org before I can incorporate them into my applications.

+1 for displaying the language used for a package.

Coffeescript takes maybe a day of frustration and then typing 'function' {} become an eternal annoyance.
