Yes, I am aware of Mixco. I hadn't looked into it much before because I don't know CoffeeScript and have no experience with Node.js. It does look capable of doing at least some of the things I put on the wiki. However, the example scripts aren't all that straightforward to me. I think that is both because I have never used CoffeeScript before and something about how the examples were written. So, at least at first glance, Mixco doesn't seem to meet the most important design goal to me, which is reducing the barrier to entry. Maybe Mixco could be improved so that it is more straightforward to new comers.
