Suprisingly, I have never even thought about compiling on Coffeescript since my rails app does that for me. Personally, I love using Coffeescript because it's just so much easier to write compared to javascript without thinking about braces and semi-colons. On the whole, I guess what framework you use affects how you use a language. In rails projects, it's very efficient to use coffeescript over javascript.
- virtualwhys 13y agoThe problem is that sometimes what you write in CS results in surprising and/or incorrect JS. This can be caused by an unnoticed block of whitespace, corner case of CS language itself, or me simply screwing something up. About 5-10% of the time I hit a WTF in CS, which is, for now, an acceptable trade off vs. using pure boilerplate ridden JS. If there was a concise TypeScript a la Scala for Java, I'd be all over it.
