I would almost suggest CoffeeScript in place of JavaScript. In fact it feels more like Python. My main concern would be lack of Google-able resources compared to plain JS.
- jitl 12y agoCoffeescript is clearly in the same vein as Ruby: designed by experienced programmers for experienced programmers. The list of caveats and gotchas for both languages is a mile long, and the grammar of both is ambiguous. I love both languages dearly for letting me be a trixy wizard but would never reccomend either to a beginner.
- elwell 12y agoI would argue that CoffeeScript has less gotchas than JavaScript. And, while you can be a trixy wizard with CoffeeScript, it certainly isn't required. The leaner and more linguistic syntax would aid beginners.
- Scarbutt 12y agoCoffescript wouldn't be pragmatic since they would have to learn Javascript anyway.
