What happened to CoffeeScript?

CoffeeScript was supported in Laravel Elixir, and so, I wrote a lot of CoffeeScript. Now, when I run npm run dev, I get an error that says (...) .coffee is not a function. Is there no support for CoffeeScript in Laravel Mix?

which makes it a little strange why those five minutes weren’t spent when coding Mix, really

Not strange at all. CoffeeScript support wasn’t included for the same reason why Stylus, Typescript, etc. also weren’t included. Every new preprocessor adds bloat to Mix, and increases the number of dependencies that folks must download.

Here’s how to add CoffeeScript support in thirty seconds.

// npm install coffee-loader coffee-script

mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.coffee', 'public/js')
   .webpackConfig({
        module: {
            rules: [
                { test: /\.coffee$/, loader: 'coffee-loader' }
            ]
        }
   });

Thanks a friggin bunch for hanging those that do use it out to dry. You yourself maintained a CoffeeScript addon-module for Elixir, so there was support for CoffeeScript right up to the moment you released Mix.

May I suggest preparing the community before you drop support like this next time?
