A comment on Announcing CoffeeScript 2. Parent comment
Obviously your mileage may wary. I think, the biggest reason is a time boost.
- Less noisy code (no braces etc) that is easier to scan
- No time wasted on flirting with new ESXXXy stuff
- There is no callback hell to deal with
- Writing React code is sweet. As previously noted: http://rapin.com/blog/2015/02/03/reactjs-with-coffeescript/
- Less distractions on things that don't really matter in 98% of use cases. Like var/const/let declarations
