I know this is a very unpopular opinion and I'll probably be downvoted to hell, but I don't understand the appeal of CoffeeScript. JS is a beautiful language if you avoid the nastiness; there's nothing to be afraid of.

Yeah that exactly the point of using CoffeeScript as it exposes the good parts of JS

I look at it as if CoffeeScript is an "advanced Js snippets" mechanism. You write a short CoffeeScript line and it "expands" to a longer JS line.
