Coffee-Script Connect/Express Middleware

iced-coffee-middleware (also known as `coffee-middleware`) is a Connect/Express middleware designed for on-the-fly compilation of CoffeeScript files (`.coffee`) into JavaScript. Currently at version 0.2.1, it provides functionality to dynamically serve compiled JavaScript, offering options such as `force` for continuous recompilation, `bare` for compilation without the top-level safety wrapper, and `encodeSrc` for embedding base64 source maps. This package leverages patterns from `less-middleware` and is built for integration with older `connect` and `express` versions that utilized `createServer()` and `app.configure()`. Due to its reliance on these long-deprecated APIs and the declining prevalence of CoffeeScript in new web development, the package's active maintenance and applicability to modern Node.js ecosystems are highly questionable. Its development cadence is effectively halted, with no significant updates in many years, making it primarily a historical artifact rather than a viable solution for contemporary projects.
