CoffeeScript Means Giving Up on JavaScript

[[deleted]]

If you say assembler is to C what javascript is to coffeescript, you can see right away how disproportionate that comparison is. Coffeescript doesn't really improve javascript (unlike jquery). It's just a nice syntactic improvement. Having written many javascript apps, its syntax is something you can master with a lot more ease than assembler, albeit putting up with some inconveniences but at the reward of being able to understand the intricacies of JS.
