Have they switched from Coffeescript to JavaScript?
- moretti 11y agoYeah https://twitter.com/sindresorhus/status/669958889941639168 https://twitter.com/sindresorhus/status/669958889941639168
- chris-at 11y agoCool. Got to resurrect my plugins :)
- matthewbauer 11y agoI think it's still a work in progress. I still see .coffee files in atom/src.
- ihsw 11y agoAll new code is in ES6+ rather than CoffeeScript, which is significant.
- wesleytodd 11y agoThis is some of the best news I have heard in a while. I really wanted to love atom, but just couldn't wrap my head around the decision to use coffeescript
- brazzledazzle 11y agoI assume ES6 didn't exist at the time (or wasn't feasible to use). If you're not used to javascript it can be quite annoying to develop in.
- plexicle 11y agoThat's a really big deal. I wanted to fix a bug or two and saw coffee last year and noped out. Glad to hear they are going back on that one. Kind of curious why they made that decision in the first place. Oh, they are a Ruby shop. Right.
