- harel 14y agoFirst of all why would you want to end up debugging on one language and writing on another? This is why I specifically mentioned 'new developers'. But I also mean developers who know basic JavaScript and jump on the CoffeeScript hype wagon because its there and its hip.

- hilko 14y agoExactly. I would never advise someone to use CoffeeScript without first knowing JavaScript, but I think very few people would do this anyways. And even if they tried, aside from debugging issues, I think the article shows that it's pretty hard to work with CoffeeScript if you don't understand the underlying output code.
