Witness this exchange in the GitHub issues for the Spine MVC framework, which creator Alex MacCaw migrated to CoffeeScript in August.
Why the move to CoffeeScript?
I was wondering why the move to CoffeeScript? Spine was a nice, zero-dependency alternative to Backbone with easy to understand Javascript… now I have to wade through CoffeeScript to see what’s going on under the hood as the compiled version is full of CoffeeScript magic. A real shame.
MacCaw’s reponse:
For the simple reason I believe CoffeeScript is better than JavaScript - I’ve even written a book on the subject: http://arcturo.github.com/library/coffeescript/ I’m never going to write another line of JS if I can help it. You should give CoffeeScript a chance.
And with that, MacCaw closed the issue.
