CoffeeScript always felt forced onto me during the height of 37Signal's influence of software development trends at the time. At the only rails shop I ever worked at it was heavily resisted.
It was at the same time I was reading more and more of Resig blogs and books (Secrets of the JavaScript ninja) and I really began to learn and grok just plain normal JavaScript. I said to myself, "you know, this really isn't that bad"
Haven't looked back since. I hate the direction ES is going.
- mercer 9y agoWhat do you dislike about ES' direction? The increase in language features in general, or more specific things?
- treehau5 9y agoIncrease in features yes and the continual succumbing to developers who just can't seem to think outside the strict OO paradigm. Prototypical inheritance is really not that hard to understand. I would rather see JavaScript fix the existing functionality, such as sometimes the prototype chain not being correctly established when instantiating a new object.
