POC: convert extension host to coffeescript

Administrator requested to merge lg/caffeinate into master

Created by: lguychard

While brewing myself a cup ☕️ this morning, I had an epiphany:

  • Type safety is overrated
  • More important than type safety is the ability to write ambiguous function calls such as fn a b c d e
  • I really miss having two kinds of arrow functions

There is so much great syntactic sugar we are missing out on! This is really just a first step, if we compile our whole TS codebase down to ES3 and then use JS2coffee we could easily convert everything quickly.

What does everyone think?
