If you want a different browser scripting language, start hacking on Firefox and Chromium and start a campaign to get it adopted. Otherwise, you are adding unnecessary complexity to apps that are already unnecessarily complex in the first place. Coffeescript, Fay, whatever. Build it right or stop with this bullshit.

- gmac 14y agoAnd you think you'll get your new language adopted by Chrome, Firefox, IE and mobile devices? It's not happening. I don't really see this extra complexity. You might almost as well dismiss all software development that isn't done in raw machine code. Plus, JS these days is blisteringly fast — if it helps, think of it as the web's assembly language.
- lucian303 14y agoIt's highly unlikely, but it's the path to pursue. JS is not the web's assembly language except to people who can't program in it. The added complexity is another (3rd, 4th++) language. If you can't see that, you're blind.
