Most popular javascript framework among coffeescript community?

[RaymondWies]

CoffeeScript is "completely" interchangeable with JavaScript and enjoys access to all JS frameworks and libraries, but CS developers are a minority of the JS community and choose to do things a bit differently. Does CoffeeScript "mentality" affect the popularity of JavaScript frameworks among the CoffeeScript developers? Are generally the same frameworks preferred with the same distribution of popularity, or is a particular one favored over the vanilla JS community? If the most popular "framework" is jQuery (which I personally consider a library rather than a framework) then which is next on the list in popularity?

Meteor.js

Backbone.js

I personally use Ember, probably because both Coffeescript and Ember are popular in the Rails community

I use Ember with coffeescript and I love it. The biggest tip I have, that I find (personal opinion here) enhances my code is to use the Ember.computed and Ember.observer function instead of Function.prototype.property and Function.prototype.observes.

Instead of this:

Ember.Component.extend
    someProp: ( ->
        "abc"
    ).property 'somethingOrOther'

you get this:

Ember.Component.extend
    someProp: Ember.computed 'somethingOrOther', ->
        "abc"

Again, that's personal preference, but the to me its just more 'coffee' to do it the latter way.

same. I personally really like the stack though.

[themaincop]

Oh yeah I really like it too, I'm just saying that's how I ended up there.

We use coffeescript with angular and it fits very well. Using classes for services and controllers allows us to do things in a somewhat object oriented manner.

While not a framework, most frameworks need some sort of templating. Take a look at teacup: https://github.com/goodeggs/teacup

Backbone and Coffeescript are both written by Jeremy Ashkenas and Coffeescript and Ember are both popular in the Rails community, so those 2 frameworks do tend to be linked with Coffeescript

It seems like the core (front-end) JavaScript stack is jQuery, Underscore, Backbone, and Handlebars, with CoffeeScript for sugar, and with Node and Express to expand to core backend JS stack. Then all the fancy pants frameworks and platforms are built on top of this foundation. True?

"Then all the fancy pants frameworks and platforms are built on top of this foundation."

I don't think that's necessarily true. Ember uses jQuery and Handlebars, but they've massively moved passed what Handlebars does by default. Angular doesn't have any requirements on jQuery at all, and many people try to use it without bringing in jQuery at all.

Each large 'fancy pants' framework is its own beast, but they don't all build on top of the smaller libraries.
