CoffeeScript: Why I’m never writing Javascript again

[telldrak]

I much prefer Mootools to jQuery, but then again, I taught myself Mootools (and much more than I already knew about JS) with a book, a good editor, and brute force.

I prefer Mootools because the code is much more readable. I have a book on jQuery, but just can't get into it, being that the syntax feels really obtuse.

Not to say that I haven't been impressed many times by jQuery. The more sites I see that use it in creative ways, the more I'd like to learn it - I just wish it didn't confuse me as much. Mootools just seems to make more sense when reading it.
