Genuine question : not knowing coffeescript (if that's indeed the problem), do you find it hard to understand what it represents in pure js ?

- davidw 14y agoI find it's a bit of a distraction. I think I know what's going on, but I'm not 100% sure.
- ehutch79 14y agoIt's hard to make the cognitive leap from coffeescript to javascript, while also trying to grok the actual subject at hand. It doesn't make much sense for tutorials to be written in coffeescript unless they are specifically coffeescript tutorials
- devmach 14y agoIt's not that hard but instead of thinking what code does, i have to think first what that code mean in javascript. Writing a tutorial / informative blog post in coffeescript is like : Giving an English lesson in Chinese while teacher and students are native speakers of English.
