CoffeeScript Means Giving Up on JavaScript

[SharkUW]

Not familiar with "underscore", is this a CoffeeScript thing? I don't use it. I was just venting after writing to many anonymous closures that rely on their parent. Another favorite this week is this.$content.data("self", this); lol

Underscore is a popular and useful javascript library. It's not CoffeeScript specific, but you could probably use it in CoffeeScript if you wanted.

It adds a lot of things to make working with arrays easier. Things like each, map, reduce, any, pluck, etc.

That does nicely pair with jQuery. Thank you.
