To an extent it is a Devil you know/Devil you don't thing. The moment one of the JS-first people get bitten by the CoffeeScript compiler (having to indent/dedent something, move a comma, suddenly your code is working ... I think everybody runs into the sort of issues the author described) they are going to go back to JS. JS is such a high-level language already, and the browser vendors and SSJS projects seem focused on advancing it. I just don't see much room in the future for languages like CS.
- noir_lord 13y agoI agree the other issue with someone like me using CoffeeScript is that first I'd want to really understand Javascript otherwise I'd never be able to trust that I could fix any bugs I ran across, it's another layer of abstraction I essentially don't need.
