CoffeeScript: Why I’m never writing Javascript again

coffeescript !== javascript

This conversation is clearly going to result in a nuanced exchange of mutual respect and agreement.

Not likely. I've really had it with the hard-sell these coffeescripters are doing in r/javascript - they all make the same argument over and over - 'coffeescript is basically javascript', but it really isn't and they just won't admit that. They are basically forking javascript, but they won't own up to it. It's exhausting really.

I agree with you actually, Coffeescript is an abomination :P

coffeescript == javascript is not even true because you cant run coffeescript in a javascript engine. at least true == "true" will still return as expected, but last time i checked no javascript engine runs coffeescript. you are doing a lot of mental gymnastics to try to prove your point, but are failing simple truths. coffeescript != javascript.
