I'd be much happier to inherit this codebase than the more common kind of front-end: "We made a bunch of choices on frameworks and toolchains 7 years ago because they ticked a lot of buzzwords. To understand what's really going on, be prepared to dive into old issue trackers of deprecated versions of unpopular projects to figure out why the code is doing thing X to work around bug Y. But isn't reactive functional metaprogramming in CoffeeScript pretty awesome though?"
