CoffeeComplete Plus – True autocompletions for CoffeeScript in SublimeText

Ah, type hinting. Reminds me of Groovy, when people who use dynamic languages realize that 95% of their method calls can be statically verified at compile time anyway. And, huh, turns out Intellisense is nice. :-)

Running with my own tangent, IMO Groovy went about this backwards, where each IDE grafted their own type inference on top of stock Groovy in their own unique way, instead of just specing it as part of the language.

Granted, that was what they had to do, because it seems at the time Groovy's committers were too proud to realize that their users actually did want static typing. That seems to be changing with Groovy 2.0.

Anyway, sorry for the grumpy comment on your post. Auto completion is wonderful and amazing, it's awesome to see people building IDE-ish features like this in lightweight editors. I'm always psyched to see that.

As a lightweight alternative, I've started using the All Autocomplete package for SublimeText (installable through Package Control). It simply sets your autocomplete to the union of all autocomplete terms from open tabs/views. So if you already have, say, a module's source code (or a demo/test from a module) open in the background, all those terms will be included. I'm such a perfectionist that I could spend hours just setting up/annotating my source code to autocomplete perfectly with CC+; it's better to have something that Just Works (TM). Still, this is quite an accomplishment, and will certainly be useful to many!

All the examples in the README point to the use around using this and new. I try following the Crockford school and thus hardly use any of them. So I ask myself whether this plugin is adding any benefit to me.

I probably cba to add [String] annotations.

This is awesome! Thank you so much. I write in CoffeeScript and then Codekit takes care of it, as if Coffee isn't fast enough, now I have autocomplete for it.

Someone. Anyone. Write a LiveScript version. Please?
