The Closure Compiler web API could be used for checking code. We could accept a url of the coffeescript source dir for a GitHub repo which we could then run a type check on.

Possibly similar to the bots which roam GitHub and submit style fix pull requests.

The key would be to reduce the requirement for boilerplate annotations. The most taxing are:

* `constructor: (options) ->` when using `initialize` method in Backbone
* Completed externs files for Backbone/Underscore
