Well, in justice, CoffeeScript did influence JavaScript. However some of the decisions were in my opinion bad: removing delimiters and making whitespace more "meaningful". That makes it really hard to automatically format code in a way that deterministically doesn't break.
- molszanski 9y agoIMO that was one bad decision in CS1 that they allowed mixed whitespace to compile in the first place. CoffeScipt 2 (which is ES6 compliant) doesn't allow you to compile/transpile any code with mixed indentation. BTW in Atom, I've successfully used atom-beautify with coffee-fmt and coffee-formatter to reformat very bad code with no errors
- partycoder 9y agoThe formatter from IntelliJ would cause the file to not compile at times. Maybe I should have tried Atom. Too late now.
