I wrote something similar, called Slinky [0], which also transparently compiles various compiled web langauges (SASS, HAML, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, etc.).
The issue with these systems is that they lie in between something like Python's SimpleHTTPServer and a complete frontend development tool like Grunt or Gulp. They're great for small projects, but have trouble scaling up.
