CoffeeScript is a syntax, not a language. His arguments have to do with the semantics of JavaScript, which are identical to the semantics of CoffeeScript.

- prodigal_erik 14y agoCoffeescript has a very similar object model, but it does alter (fix) the semantics of variable binding and expression statements and some unusably broken operators, and those involve treating Javascript more like a compilation target than an equivalent dialect.
- heretohelp 14y agoYesss running s/==/===/g...very semantically different ;)
- GnarlinBrando 14y agoPersonally I think its great because it is just a different syntax for the same semantics.
