from the post: The problem here is that CoffeeScript fails at it’s fundamental purpose as an abstraction:
from the coffeescript site: The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: "It's just JavaScript".
it's not an abstraction. it's a tool for writing better, more consistent javascript.
- dustbyrn 15y agoWell, marketing propaganda aside, CoffeeScript is not JavaScript. It doesn't run in any JavaScript interpreter. Is it, in fact, an abstraction by every definition of the word. All programming languages are abstractions, and this particular abstraction compiles into JavaScript making it a DIRECT abstraction of JavaScript.
- gerggerg 15y agoYou're right. I think I meant more that it shouldn't be treated strictly as an abstraction but as a tool. If you use it as a set it and forget it solution you're doing it wrong.
