Augh. Anytime I see a Coffescript project all I see is wasted money trying to recruit engineers who actually want to use it. 90% of people who write JavaScript roll their eyes and move on.
- ralmidani 9y agoAnother way to look at it: you will only draw developers who share your appreciation for whitespace-significant languages. I have worked on two startups with a fellow programmer who knew Python but not CoffeeScript. He picked it up very quickly, along with Emblem (indented Handlbars alternative, useful for Ember projects) and indented Sass. Once we told the text editor to insert 4 spaces in place of tabs, we had much less to worry about in terms of stylistic disagreements.
