Using node.js and socket.io, when I broadcast to all other sockets with a callback, can I get a reference to each socket inside the callback?
Raw
code.coffee
# Iterate through all sockets excluding origin
broadcast = (origin, fn) ->
fn(socket) for socket in io.sockets.clients() when socket != origin

No. Best roll your own implementation here. The easiest choice is to use io.sockets.clients() to get a list of all sockets, then exclude the originating socket.
