I have this CoffeeScript code running here (with TZM-Blade) and would like to have your opinion on how to better optimize it.
express = require "express"
gzippo = require "gzippo"
assets = require "connect-assets"
jsPaths = require "connect-assets-jspaths"
stylus = require "stylus"
blade = require "blade"
i18n = require "i18next"
http = require "http"
https = require "https"
fs = require "fs"
json = ""
#### Application initialization
# Create app instance.
app = express()
# Define Port
app.port = process.env.PORT or process.env.VMC_APP_PORT or process.env.VCAP_APP_PORT or 3000
# Config module exports has `setEnvironment` function that sets app settings depending on environment.
config = require "./config"
app.configure "production", "development", "testing", ->
config.setEnvironment app.settings.env
# i18next init
i18n.init
detectLngQS: "lang"
,ns: { namespaces: ['ns.common', 'ns.layout'], defaultNs: 'ns.common'}
,resSetPath: "./locales/__lng__/new.__ns__.json"
,ignoreRoutes: ["images/", "public/", "css/", "js/"]
#,locales:['de', 'en', 'fr', 'pt']
,extension:".json"
#,saveMissing: true
#,sendMissingTo: 'all'
,debug: true
#### View initialization
# Add Connect Assets.
app.use assets(build : true)
jsPaths assets, console.log
# Set the public folder as static assets.
app.use gzippo.staticGzip(process.cwd() + "/assets")
app.use gzippo.staticGzip(process.cwd() + "/public")
app.use express.favicon(process.cwd() + "/public/images/favicon.ico")
app.use express.logger('dev')
# Set the nowjs folder as static assets and locales for i18next
app.use gzippo.staticGzip(process.cwd() + "/nowjs")
app.use gzippo.staticGzip(process.cwd() + "/locales")
app.use gzippo.staticGzip(process.cwd() + "/data/topo")
# Set Blade View Engine and tell Express where our views are stored
app.set "view engine", "blade"
app.set "views", process.cwd() + "/views"
try
app.set "chapters", require(process.cwd() + "/data/chapters.json")
app.set "languages", require(process.cwd() + "/locales/config.json")
app.set "translation", require(process.cwd() + "/locales/dev/translation.json")
catch e
console.warn "files not found: " + e
app.set "chapters", []
app.set "languages", []
app.set "translation", []
next()
return
# [Body parser middleware](http://www.senchalabs.org/connect/middleware-bodyParser.html) parses JSON or XML bodies into `req.body` object
app.use express.bodyParser()
app.use i18n.handle
app.use blade.middleware(process.cwd() + "/views")
app.use app.router
#### Finalization
# Register i18next AppHelper so we can use the translate function in template
i18n.registerAppHelper(app)
# Initialize routes
routes = require "./routes"
app.locals.pretty=true
routes(app)
# Export application object
module.exports = app
