Coffee script isn't outdated. v2.2 was released just last month. It still ships as the default on rails as well.

- davnicwil 9y agoForgive me if this is off the mark, I'm no expert on rails, but isn't that just because CoffeeScript is very ruby-like and therefore makes a lot of sense in the specific context of a ruby-based web framework? I wouldn't see it as a general endorsement of CoffeeScript in any broader sense.
- uxcolumbo 9y agoThanks for the correction. I wasn't sure hence the question. But my impression is that CS is slowly dying or becoming obsolete and there aren't major benefits over using something like ES6/TS etc. So choosing something like CS would raise a question whether the applicant knows how to choose technologies wisely (all in the context of working with other devs who probably don't know CS and also working on projects that need to grow and need to be maintained for years to come). Bigger projects have moved away from CS: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20098 https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/20098 https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/4065 https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/4065
