First thanks, Coffeescript saved me days of work.

But I can understand , because it's popular , some people feel like they are forced to understand or learn it.

Yet you can be proud that Coffeescript influenced the latest ES spec, that's all that matters , you pushed Javascript forward, by saying "Dont wait for other to make the stuff you need, do your own stuff and eventually people will wake up and adress your intial issue".




Hear hear!

I'll never forget reading a blog post [0] by Brendan Eich in which he addressed upcoming ES features that were influenced by or emulated Coffeescript syntax.

It was a pretty solid Krusty the Clown reference on his part.
