On: Why I'll never use Coffeescript

[dustbyrn]

Well, marketing propaganda aside, CoffeeScript is not JavaScript. It doesn't run in any JavaScript interpreter. Is it, in fact, an abstraction by every definition of the word. All programming languages are abstractions, and this particular abstraction compiles into JavaScript making it a DIRECT abstraction of JavaScript.

[gerggerg → dustbyrn]

You're right. I think I meant more that it shouldn't be treated strictly as an abstraction but as a tool.

If you use it as a set it and forget it solution you're doing it wrong.
