Where did I say that? I didn't say that at all. I'm on my threads page writing this reply to you and a search for shame only brings up your comment so whoever you're quoting isn't me.
- klibertp 11y agoLooks like you're right. Sorry. I must have confused you with some other commenter I read on HN today, it's a mistake on my part. Having admitted this much, I'm still waiting for your explanation why you wouldn't "consider projects written in CoffeeScript JavaScript projects". I'd still downvote you for stating such a strong opinion without providing any rationale.
- lemevi 11y agoThey're not JavaScript because the language used to write the source code isn't in JavaScript. Babel is used to bring modern JavaScript features into older browsers, but you're still writing JavaScript. If the language you are writing doesn't at least attempt to conform with some signficant portion of the ECMAScript specification, it's not JavaScript.
