Kind of an unfair comparision... Coffeescript compiles to Javascript. Sure, GHC Haskell might have once compiled to C but no one was expected to actually read the C code.
Reading the Javascript code is pretty much unavoidable with Coffeescript because debugging utilities don't exist for it at all.
- pufuwozu 14y agoI know quite a few people that use Scala in place of Haskell just because it runs on the JVM. Interoperability matters.
- Groxx 14y agoSo it's an unfair comparison in favor of Coffeescript because Coffeescript has inadequate tools? I don't see the rationale here. Especially since the vast majority of javascript out there is minified, especially when it has been generated by something like Coffeescript. Nobody is expected to actually read the minified code.
