> for you a project i know uses coffeescript and i see it as an additional hoop for possible contributors who otherwise know the web platform to jump through (i contributed to that project once and accidentally introduced a bug related to variable scoping...) i think nowadays people should be writing es6+ javascript instead (won't even need to transpile it in the future)
