Thanks for the great response Jeremy.

It's a ton of fun to write. That's why. I absolutely love writing it. That alone is why I didn't pull the plug on it at work.

I have great feelings of guilt for posting that article w/o talking more about the things I really enjoy about the language. I'm having blast with my SnackJS CoffeeScript branch. https://github.com/rpflorence/snack/tree/amd-coffee

I think every JS developer should give CoffeeScript a spin in a side-project.
