This won't be a popular comment, but I have to admit I never really liked CoffeeScript. I've tried to like it, and it does seem more concise, but what's the point, it always seems clearer (to me) what something written in vanilla javascript is doing. I don't know, I guess I haven't done enough Python.
- mratzloff 14y agoIt won't be a popular comment because it's not germane to the conversation at hand.
- Mahn 14y agoWe have all sorts of discussions here on HN that derail a bit from the topic of the main article linked, e.g. discussing smart TVs in a thread about webOS; I don't see how this is negative as long as there is still connection.
- Cushman 14y agoThis isn't negative so much as irrelevant; CoffeeScript has been around long enough that we've had most of the discussion around what people like and don't like about it. If you don't like it, that's fine, but there's not a lot to talk about.
