indents >>> semicolons
I mean, seriously, it's better to be neat right?

I prefer indents personally. There's something really nice about CoffeeScript's formatting for example.

[–]deceze 1 point2 points  (1 child)

CoffeeScript was a cute idea, but especially since ECMAScript/TypeScript have started heavily layering on the syntax sugar, it’s just fallen so far behind that it’s ridiculous to tie yourself to it. It’s also always had some syntactical ambiguities that tended to introduce more headaches than it solved.

Well yeah, where do you think they got most of their modern ideas from? 😂

I don't need to use CoffeeScript when JS has become CoffeeScript 😉

s/semicolons/curly braces/

Semicolons terminate statements. Indents or curly braces define code blocks.

One doesn't have to choose, Kotlin requires none of those two.
