A Post.

I'm alive.
I'm just a terrible blogger. 

Still working on Transterpreting, as before. The Atom plugin is moving along, but it has turned out to be more complicated than we had thought when we were beginning. 

Progress
So far we have 

• Made a request for configuration things from the server
• Received a response
• Made the response readable
• Put the readable response into a drop-down

It's not a great deal of progress, however we are working in an interesting environment that we don't have any collective experience with, and are using a language (Coffeescript) that we are not familiar with.

Issues
The most difficult component of our work on the plugin thus far has been figuring out how the Coffeescript is supposed to look. At times we have found ourselves trying to write something that is, in fairness, pretty much plain Javascript. 

There are several significant differences though, the primary being that there are no "extra" characters, ever. Meaning: semi-colons, brackets, braces, etc. If there is some character you want to type because of formatting, don't. It won't work. The language is dependent upon indentation, much like Python. 

Which is kind of gross. It is what it is.

So, we continue forward.
