I disagree.

2. Typescript includes types and brackets. Coffeescript does not.
3. Icedcoffescript includes async/defer keywords. I include this last point only as a result of a personal perspective that if you're going to use coffeescript, you might as well use icedcoffeescript.
- ixtraz 13y agoI'm sorry, I'm not a Ruby developer and hope never would :) From my prospect - all languages, which has no brackets are ugly and simular to ruby. Btw, based on typescript discussions, they are going to implement async/await functionality too.
- tomlu 13y agoIt's all what you're used to reading. If all you've been staring at are various curly-brace languages then of course you're going to prefer that. I was primarily a curly-brace developer for 10 years, but changed my mind after a few years of Python, Ruby and Lua. Now I actually think these languages look better than the curly-brace family.
- egeozcan 13y agoFor me, the stereotypical CoffeeScript experience applies: Easy to write, hard to read.
- rictic 13y agoasync/await is on their roadmap, though I'd estimate about a year before it'll be in a stable version (I wouldn't be surprised if it'll be available on a feature branch much sooner, but with lower expectation of stability).
