I've been down this path before. I used coffee script on a few projects. Every time I have to go down that path I end up having to write more complex code just to do basic things. This blows up the project timeline when I could've done the same things in basic javascript in a few minutes. I read lets discard the benefits of writing javascript as javascript in favor of something else because of a few people refuse to learn javascript. If you don't want to learn the language of the web then maybe just maybe it's not for you. I think people coming to javascript from statically typed languages need to stop trying to fight javascript or trying to force paradigms on javascript that don't need to exist/never meant to happen and instead embrace javascript as it is and with an open mind.
