Hey, that's wonderful.
I'm just saying that you're not in any way going to avoid learning JS by starting with Coffee -- you still need to know:
* How JS numbers work.
* All about "this" (dynamic scope).
* Function vs. block-level scope.
* How the prototype chain is structured.
... and all those other un-obvious things about JavaScript.
- mmavnn 16y agoTrue, but I would need to learn these regardless of which syntax I use to write my JavaScript. And coffee actually helped me to become aware of/understand some of these issues: -> vs. =>, for example, or the prototype code produced by your 'class' syntax.
