This comment would be more useful if you made an actual argument. But to imply that you can't comprehend any possible gain for using another language that overcomes the downsides (which you don't specify) isn't constructive.
- amorphid 11y agoI like pure JS over CoffeeScript (and other something-to-JS solutions) because: - Writing JS gives me a better feel for how the language actually works - I like the line number in the JS I'm debugging to equal the line in my source code - There's less magic to understand & deal with - CoffeeScript automatically returns the last line of a function, and I don't always like that
