"With CoffeeScript, writing JavaScript becomes fun again. Code is cleaner and more verbose, leading to faster development and less bugs. Sure there’s opinions against it, but seems that many have changed their opinion? Just saying that you should try it. I’m not going back to vanilla JS. Debugging is not an issue when you use require.js. And plz don’t make those uncomprehensible magic one-liners."
How does require.js make coffeescript debugging easier?
- kosmikko 14y agoWhat I meant that you can keep the files small thus it's easy to find the correct line of error.
- leeoniya 14y agothen you meant less verbose
- nilliams 14y agoI'm with you on this one, that doesn't seem like the most well-considered paragraph. As well as the point you picked up on there's also: 'Code is cleaner and more verbose' - less verbose surely. 'Faster development and less bugs' - huge sweeping generalisation that I'm not sure can be backed-up. That said I'm a CoffeeScript fan, but I'd like to see people being realistic about its benefits, not just making really vague claims. Also it's okay just to say things like 'Coding in CoffeeScript is fun', I would have just left it there. :) Edit: I also really like the article overall, thanks for posting and sorry for the initially negative tone of my comment. I especially like the perspective on the backend - agreed!
