CoffeeScript: less typing, bad readability

Seems like there are two types of developers: those who don't want even to hear about CoffeeScript and trying hard to find deficiencies in it and those who embraced it and feel unhappy every time they are forced to work with vanilla javascript again.

Or, there are different opinions on how things work, each finding their language superior in writability and readability.

There are no absolutes. This is all subjective.

Extremists are generally the noisiest. I use CS in a Rails project along side JS without a problem. It's not a massive web site but I haven't hit any big snags mixing the two.

Sounds pretty accurate to me. It's the "unreadable" problem that boggles my mind.

"OMG it's change, run away!"
