Hi. Could you tell me how this improves on the existing CoffeeScript mode? And is your intent to have this become part of the main distribution?

@marijnh
This mode implements all the CoffeeScript language specification, like:

• and、is、or... keywords will be highlight
• Class(capital word) will be highlight
• method def will be highlight
• properties will be highlight
• module、exports、require (commonjs) will be highlight
• and so on...

It make the highlight more comprehensive.

Yes, I want let it become part of the main distribution.

I've taken a closer look, but your mode doesn't do any indentation, which seems a regression. Have you considered simply modifying the old mode to fix its shortcomings? I've pushed 89c8c3d, which highlights properties as properties. I noticed that operators like and and is are already highlighted as operators (choose a different theme if you want a different color for them).

Closing until further comments.
