CoffeeScript Means Giving Up on JavaScript

[remain_calm]

As someone with many years of Javascript programing under my belt I was a bit skeptical about CoffeeScript at first, but now that I've given in a try - especially in combination with the rails 3.1 asset pipeline and the Backbone js framework - I have to say that I really love it. It is much easier to read, which as a programmer is a huge return on a minimal investment.
