Comment on Why Do All the Great Node.js Developers Hate CoffeeScript? by mark

As usual, coffeescript-doesnt-do-this argument. CoffeeScript does JavaScript through backticks for those mythical cases. Stylus looks like Python. Jade looks like Python. CoffeeScript looks like Python. Schluter complains ad-nauseum about semi-colons. There’s no logic to it. My guess is it is not-invented-here syndrome. They didn’t invent it, so it must not be any good.

Please don’t bring up the debugger. If you have to rely on the debugger every time something goes wrong, you’re probably not that good of a developer or are working in a corporate cubible behind your IDE. Most of the time you can look at the error message and you know where you Fd up. And the times that you need a debugger all you have to do is look at the javascript error and filename and you can find the offending line with the same ease as if you had written it in Javascript.

Understandably so. Will you post your JSON? Or a subset of it to reproduce the error? Thanks.

I just get an infinite loop between Peek() and ReadWhitespace() on the letter ‘E’ in the first json string I tried to use this with which makes me feel this is a bit fragile.

Hey Brandon, do you have any examples on either of your assertions? I haven’t encountered one thing that CoffeeScript couldn’t do that JavaScript can. Also, regarding your second point of unnecessary code, I’d argue that minification takes care of that.

This is simply because there are a lot of things that coffee-script doesn’t provide which JavaScript does. On top of this, Coffee-Script generates a lot of unneeded code. Returning things that it doesn’t need to, etc.
