Comment on CoffeeScript: JavaScript without the Fail (slides)parent

Comments

I agree, other than a few operators there's nothing new here, it's just bits of ruby/py etc combined basically (the object stuff looks like yaml :) haha, kinda fun), and as you mention it looks great in small snippets, but gets really unwieldy in practice from what I've seen.

I will never understand how you dislike coffeescript so much. Even if you only use it to stop having to type }); and the word function, it's worth it. Everything else is a bonus. Tried it on a real project?
