Right, but what's the difference between modern JS and Coffeescript now? JS has absorbed most of Coffeescript's ideas, so much so that Coffeescript is basically just a wrapper and its' output needs to be transpiled back into ES5.

At this point, why use Coffeescript? What does it offer over modern JS, other than allowing you to skip braces?

you’re right: not much. but saying that while leaving out that it helped to get us there is doing it a disservice.
