I sometimes use CoffeeScript for personal stuff, but have mostly moved back to plain JavaScript even for that. And yet I find this one of the silliest articles about why not to use it. You've explained why very well. The main reason I moved back to plain js is that: 1. I can't really get used to significant whitespace. But that's mostly just taste. 2. CoffeeScript is a bit too ambiguous for me at times. It makes me feel the same way Ruby On Rails does. But that might also just be a personal preference. That said, I really miss a lot that CoffeeScript offers. Can anyone recommend a similar and ideally popular project that offers much of what CS has (brevity and comprehensions being among the main things) without the significant whitespace, and without the ambiguities?
