Ah, well in that case we are in disagreement. I think Coffeescript is a big improvement. It produces JS code that conforms to The Good Parts™ without having to remember to always add that third equals sign or the var keyword to avoid making a global and other such ridiculous bull-ka-ka. So you end up not debugging the same old JS traps as much because it is a lot harder to write them. (You get to debug shiny new JS traps instead, but there's only so much a good lipstick can do.) But it's fine if you prefer javascript to coffeescript. Tastes differ. Some people like bull-ka-ka. runs away
