But who said you had to use CoffeeScript? You can perfectly use this library by writing standard javascript.
The author decided to write the source code of the library in CoffeeScript, which then compiles to perfectly valid javascript that you can import.
The analogy about Python is that you don't have to know C to be able to use a Python library written in C..
The point is still flawed, though - CoffeeScript is not JavaScript, and I have no interest in learning it (I'd rather spend the time learning to write better JS myself). I, and everyone else with my mindset, has their time wasted by this mislabelling; we would not have clicked through if the title said CoffeeScript.
