- icey 16y agoNow I have to put on my fruity hippie developer hat. I feel like it makes a big difference when a language implementor values beauty in code. CoffeeScript was created by someone who values the aesthetics of code, and it shows. The CoffeeScript documentation is a fantastic exposition of that: http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/ http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/
