Install Textmate - http://macromates.com/

Install Play bundle (it is included in the play framework zip, under support/textmate)
Install Less bundle:  https://github.com/appden/less.tmbundle  (Just download the zip, unzip, and double click on Commands/Save to CSS.tmCommand && Syntaxes/LESS.tmLanguage)
Install Coffee bundle:  https://github.com/jashkenas/coffee-script-tmbundle (instructions on page)

Install coffeescript & less compilers to allow compilation from Textmate.
I chose to use npm, you could do it differently.
Installing coffee via npm: http://coffeescriptcafe.com/blog/your-mac-osx-coffeescript-development-environment/
Install Less: npm install less -g

redis = require "redis"

randomString = (length) ->
  chars = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
  result = ""
  i = length

  while i > 0
    result += chars[Math.round(Math.random() * (chars.length - 1))]
    --i

adamsList = ['a','b','c']

# Traditional (and more readable)
for x in adamsList
  console.log x
  
#Enhanced for loop (should be faster.  
for x in [adamsList.length - 1..0] by -1  
 console.log x
