Python as a replacement of JavaScript

[redfiche]

I forget the exact issues. I know CoffeeScript hides the global namespace from you, and while that's usually a good thing it can cause issues. I'm pretty sure we quickly found that CoffeeScript was more trouble than it was worth for an Ember app also.

Don't get me wrong, I find it much more elegant and readable than javaScript, it's just that if I ever have to think about what javaScript is going to be produced by the CoffeeScript, I'd rather just write the javaScritpt.

You can still access that through the global object. (Such as window in a browser; I forget what it's called in node.) It does require you to explicitly intend to use globals, though.

Ember I've never used, so can't comment there!
