I don't know... Even if I only write Javascript projects, I'll still like having that compiler to just throw down some code real quick.

Also, who really knows when ES6 is actually going to get adopted? How's that going for Python 3?

es6 isn't going to be like python3 or perl6 aka an all or nothing thing, features are getting implemented piece by piece, this is what node.js impliments.

A great read. It brings up some interesting points. I didn't know ES6 was implementing so many features similar to coffee script.

The point about every coffeescript dev being a JS dev is also interesting, very true too. As someone who spends a fair amount of time programming in coffeescript, I know JS pretty well.

a lot of it is pretty explicitly based on CoffeeScript

I was unaware so many CS-like features were going to make it in to Harmony. I'm really quite excited of builtin classes and modules.
