It will be possible added this options? I can add pull requests in the future for gen. templates...

I didn't know at all coffee or litcoffee but Trails use js ES2015 so it is not enough ?
The team take position to don't have any coffee on official modules https://github.com/trailsjs/trails/blob/382a768231c33144b127c31caae09597eabc04b3/CONTRIBUTING.md#no-coffeescript
I let them answer you about this officially.

Hmm ok... :( but I think a coffee code generated user controllers/services etc.. (not core things). if they don't like it.. nevermind, I can create something like generator-trails-coffee... :)

My position is that es6/es7 should always be preferred over non-native implementations such as CoffeeScript. If you really want to use coffeescript, I think that needs to be built as an addon.

The trails core is not at all opinionated on what language you use -- you could build a trailpack in C++ if you want -- so a coffeescript pack might be become popular among coffeescript users. The contributing guidelines are to specify that coffeescript code won't be merged into the core.

When you get a trails coffeescript integration working, let us know! We'll happily link to it.

I'm closing this as there will be no official work on this feature. Like Travis say, let us know when you have something working with coffee.
