A simple gem that connects Barista, the CoffeeScript plugin for Rails 3, with Growl. That way, you get a warning the moment the compiler has a syntax error, allowing you to fix bugs faster.
On a Mac, you'll need to have Growl and growlnotify installed.
On Windows, you should just need Growl for Windows.
Once you've got Growl set up, just add barista and barista_growl to your project's Gemfile and bundle install. The relevant lines of your Gemfile might look like this
gem 'barista'
gem 'barista_growl', :git => 'http://github.com/TrevorBurnham/barista_growl.git'
When you add barista_growl to your project's Gemfile, the [growl](http://github.com/visionmedia/growl/) gem will be added
automatically if not already present.

barista_growl is pretty simple, but if you have ideas for improvement, just create an issue at http://github.com/TrevorBurnham/barista_growl/issues.
