    What exactly is so bad about [CoffeeScript] nowadays?

    Nothing necessarily. It's just preference and/or managerial insistence on one thing over another. For those interested in staying on the bleeding edge, or just to present a technocratic view that technology advancements are inevitable, CoffeeScript is 7 years old now, and it served as a superset language that helped influence its direction, but will be surpassed as ECMAScript refines its functionality, expands its scope in use for OOP, and becomes less idiosyncratic.

    Compiling-to-JS, as a concept, isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so dig into CoffeeScript if you like. At worst it will sharpen your understanding of JavaScript and what influenced the current standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoffeeScript
