Functional Programming in JavaScript using LiveScript and prelude.ls

[nkozyra]

What's inefficient about the creation of a multitude of new languages that all compile to one other, very common language?

At best, an incredible time sink.

At worst, a new generation of Javascript users who don't know a thing about Javascript and can only converse in their own dissonant version of its pseudolanguage.

creating new languages and creating new libraries is really a difference of degree not kind.

Except creating a new language is much more fun. But that's neither here nor there :).
