- shubhamjain 8y agoFrankly, picking a non-conventional language in order to associate yourself with "true hackers" is PG's least useful advice. I am not even sure if he would still agree today. Hackers use the language they are most comfortable with and that gets things done. Everything else is secondary. I wrote a blog post on the subject [1].

- jpochtar 8y agoYeah we didn't do it for the hipster cred— we did it because I agree with PG that some languages are better than others, and Coffeescript is just better than Javascript.
