When you use an unblessed language derivative like Coffeescript for your examples, please give alternate examples (even if they are simply generated by your coffeescript translator). Especially in this case, since Angular isn't targeted specifically at Coffeescript developers.
- thoughtpalette 13y agoI agree. Took me a second looking at the example then realizing it was coffee script. Not as helpful to me.
- lucisferre 13y agoIs this just an anti-coffeescript rant or are you actually struggling to follow the examples?
- awj 13y agoI think it's a legitimate concern about the ability to read examples. Using nonstandard tools to showcase a concept limits the people who are able to follow along. Not everyone has invested the time to learn the ins and outs of CoffeeScript, why hinder understanding with it when "talking about CoffeeScript" isn't the point of the article?
- ulisesrmzroche 13y agoIt's really not a big deal in this case. Code is not doing anything tricky. Just add some ugly curly braces and parenthesis and it's es6 JS with the arrow.
- lucisferre 13y agoNo, it's a tired complaint from a group of people who don't like the idea that people are building for the web in something other than their favourite language. No one is forcing you to like coffeescript, but it's completely unnecessary to complain about every single example or blog post that uses it.
- vkjv 13y agoNot to mention that it saves a whopping 4 lines here. There aren't any CoffeeScript specific features used here, so why use it at all?
