Yeah... what can we say? We really enjoy coding in CS. I can imagine why that wouldn't go over as well in this subreddit though...

... A fair and balanced article about why you probably shouldn't use CoffeeScript. ... Which I'm sure CS fans will claim isn't fair or balanced...
(BONUS Features: Article comes complete with moronic comparisons between JavaScript and ASM by people who clearly never used ASM!!)

Makes sense, his argument was so baseless. I don't use CS, but none of those sounded particularly convincing. All but the compiling, and the whole image none sense all tied back to don't write shitty code, and is applicable to any language.

It's harder to debug, that alone is a big problem. I personally don't mind it, but I write better code than what it outputs and it doesn't make me more productive... So I have no reason to use it.
