Why not focus on his general point: that CoffeeScript does not fix the problems of JavaScript because it introduces other problems?
He obviously knows a lot more than "day's experience".
If you make the argument that he needs to learn to write better CoffeeScript then you're lending help to his argument.
- tonyhb 13y agoI think that he should at least understand and know the CoffeeScript syntax to argue that it isn't great. If you don't know C, learnt half of it, then moaned that it didn't compile you'd look like a bit of a fool. In this case, it's logical that a comma doesn't go there. A comma would go after the closing `}`, which is optional (and so are commas in objects). If you don't know the rules of a language, I feel like it's easier to criticise wrongly.
- untog 13y agoWhy not focus on his general point: that CoffeeScript does not fix the problems of JavaScript because it introduces other problems? I think the point is that CoffeeScript does fix some problems of JS, but introduces complications of its own. It's worth it for some, but not others.
