I like the idea of CoffeeScript. But so far, for me, it's just not better enough for me to use it over plain JavaScript. The reason I use C over assembly is b/c there is such a HUGE difference. If C were only marginally better I wouldn't bother with it either.
- chime 15y agoWhat kind of JS projects do you have? CS is certainly overkill for form validation but if you have 50+ JS files that all need to talk to each other, CS can help make things cleaner and succinct.
- learc83 15y agoDon't think I've got anything quite to the level of 50+ files, but I've done some smaller scale javascript only applications where the only thing done backend was a restful database wrapper. I agree that it can help a bit, but I've tried it, and I didn't notice enough of a productivity increase to bother adding a compiler step. I'm the type who would use and occasionally has used assembly (this was embedded stuff mind you), so I might not be representative.
