I enjoy playing with state machines. They are simple enough to implement quickly, and complex enough to give the implementation language a little workout. Followers of this blog will know that I've enjoyed using Finite State Machines to explore CoffeeScript.

But, when I look at the search terms leading to my blog, I see that people want to see FSMs implemented in C#, C++, or even VB. About the only language I haven't seen people looking for is CoffeeScript. I'm not too suprised, since most people searching for FSM implementations are probably students trying to cheat on thier homework. I doubt any professors are accepting CoffeeScript implemenations.

When I see these search results, I consider quickly posting a solution in the requested language. I don't mind if students crib solutions from me. I'm a big believer in learning by example. Certainly if by looking at my FSMs I can save one student from writing a switch statement, then I'll consider it a public serv
