developer mindshare.
Check tag count for questions on SO; 4500 for CoffeeScript, 1500 for Dart.
Not to mention the violent revulsion many people (myself included) are expressing in this topic.
- eco 13y agoThat's not a very good metric. CoffeeScript is twice the age of Dart.
- Helianthus 13y agoFair point; I was trying to get github numbers and got sidetracked.
- cromwellian 13y agoBy that metric, GWT blows away CoffeeScript with ~15,000 questions on SO. Are you sure you want to use that metric?
- Helianthus 13y agoPoint was to compare compile-to-javascript languages.
- spankalee 13y agoUh, GWT is a Java-to-JS compiler. On that note, Java has 508,338 questions on StackOverflow, which crushes CoffeeScript, /especially/ with those 15,000 GWT questions ;)
- Helianthus 13y agoOh, interesting. Is it really a standalone transpiler or is it a set of tools? As someone else pointed out, SO isn't a great metric, but finding github activity by language seemed to take more time than I was willing to invest.
- spankalee 13y agoNo metric will be great right now because Dart is so new compared to CoffeeScript. CoffeeScript 1.0 was released 3 years ago. Give us a chance to get 1.0 out the door :)
- rdtsc 13y ago> Not to mention the violent revulsion many people (myself included) are expressing in this topic. Immaturity seems like a good explanation of that effect
- Helianthus 13y agoNot your best work.
- rdtsc 13y agoI just let Occam do the dirty work for me sometimes.
- Helianthus 13y agoOh don't be so simple. :P
