There is a good reason: If they offered me a job and it was in JS I wouldn't take it. If they offered it in CoffeeScript: I would probably say yes.

  But how many are the reverse? I'd wager a lot, given the number of people out there that code in JS vs CS.

    I refuse to use CoffeeScript and I avoid using libraries that are written in the language.

    This is what I was thinking. Convert to CS and then struggle to find developers in a few years when the guys that's thought this was a great idea have moved onto the next big thing.

      Honestly I've been hearing this argument about CoffeeScript for what feels like a long time. I don't think it's going anywhere.
      • lttlrck 14y ago
        Well the industry does tend toward standards for a reason.
      • untog 14y ago
        CoffeeScript is only two years old. It hasn't been around for a "long time".

  except you'd still be touching JS every single day during debugging... what nonsense. CS is a preprocessor, hardly a language.
