Docco is a documentation generator by Jeremy Ashkenas that embraces the literate-programming style: it takes your source code and produces annotated HTML documentation that shows your comments side-by-side with your code. The idea is to read code like a book — commentary on one side, code on the other — which helps reviewers and learners understand intent and implementation simultaneously. It supports many languages (via configuration) and is intentionally quick and dirty, prioritizing...

...It tallies physical lines, source lines, comment lines, and blank lines, giving you a quick snapshot of code size across files or entire directories. The utility is language-aware through lightweight detectors and patterns, so it can ignore comments correctly and avoid counting generated or minified files if you configure it to. Output can be human-readable for quick checks or machine-readable (like JSON) for CI pipelines that track repository growth over time. It supports typical developer conveniences such as glob patterns, file/directory ignores, and sensible defaults so you can drop it into existing workflows without fuss. ...

CoffeeScript is a lightweight programming language that compiles into JavaScript. It adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python, and Haskell to improve brevity and readability, while producing predictable and efficient JavaScript output. Its design emphasizes that “It’s just JavaScript,” meaning any JS library works seamlessly, and compiled output is clean and performant.

...The cheatsheet covers essential topics like Gulp installation, defining tasks, piping streams, watchers, and handling asynchronous tasks. It includes multilingual PDF versions (English, Japanese, Chinese) so users around the world can use it in their preferred language. The repository is lightweight (mostly documentation and examples), licensed under MIT, and maintained as a community reference rather than a full tool or plugin.
