Open Source CoffeeScript Site Management Software

Roots is a CoffeeScript-based toolkit designed to speed up front-end and static site development. It functions as a fast, flexible static site generator but also offers MV* integration with frameworks like Backbone or Angular. Roots comes with extensible pipelines, asset compilation, template engines (Jade, etc.), live reloading, server integration, and plugin support. Widely used in production, it's maintained actively and is MIT-licensed.

DocPad is a dynamic static site generator built on Node.js that streamlines web development by allowing use of layouts, meta‑data, templating preprocessors (Markdown, Jade, CoffeeScript, etc.), partials, skeletons, file‑watching, querying, and a rich plugin system for building powerful static sites quickly. Completely file based, meaning there are no pesky databases that need to be installed, and for version control you get to use systems like Git and SVN, which you're already used to. Write your documents in any language, markup, templating engine, or pre-processor you wish (we're truly agnostic thanks to your plugin system). You can even mix and match them when needed by combining their extensions in a rails-like fashion.
