Hi There,

## The Hubot connects for a few seconds and then crashes with this (hostname changed for posting only). Is this a library issue or a configuration issue?

“Can’t reference ‘this’ before calling super in derived class constructors  
@entries = new Entries @robot”

I’ve seen this error when Hubot is trying to load a coffee script file/module. Coffeescript 1.x allowed this before calling super in derived classes. Coffeescript 2.x does not.
