Having coded in javascript for 4 or so years, and a recent love for NodeJS in a couple of internal projects, I'm a bit torn between giving coffee a proper go or not.
Can any one employee give a gist of how used it is in production? From what I've seen I would love to use coffee (I've actually used coffee in reverse, to tweak out a javascript function), but I'm wondering if I'd be lowering my productivity.
What I mean by that is, if I wrote coffeescript, but everyone else worked in javascript (or compiled coffee), then it'd be silly of me to continue doing so. Similarly I've watched a lot of node module development over the past year, and only once I've come across a module written in coffee.
I do of course realize NodeJS in itself is not "very" widespread yet, but are there any node users who can shed some light on the possible future of coffee in node?
- danneu 14y agoWhy are you so cautious to "give it a proper go"? It's not a big mental investment.
- Morg 14y agoHopefully nodeJs will die within a year or two. Apart from that, I believe you should try coffeescript or any language you become interested in, it's a very way to keep on improving, opens your mind to different paradigms too.
