- callmevlad 14y agoFair point. However, it has taken years to get to where we are today (CoffeeScript just shipping support, limited browser support), so it doesn't seem to be an easy problem either.
- mintplant 14y agoThe delay in CoffeeScript support had to do with the design of the compiler more than anything. CoffeeScriptRedux [1] has had this in for quite some time. [1] https://github.com/michaelficarra/CoffeeScriptRedux/ https://github.com/michaelficarra/CoffeeScriptRedux/
- Arelius 14y agoIndeed the ecosystem and support around source maps isn't super easy in total, but I wouldn't call any particular point in isolation particularly difficult. It's just that there is quite a few of them.
