"Also, in the end of the
day, your generated JavaScript is just about 5% more verbose than
actual CoffeeScript code, so I don't see real benefit."
I disagree with this sentence.
Anyone use coffeescript only to
reduce the code verbosity, maybe wrong.
It's a simple evolution of thejavascript language that currently has an old syntax.
Do not confuse old syntax with popularity and power of the language itself.
Many programmers have figured out that readability and clarity code are a good stuff, especially looking forward if the project will become big and much complex.
It's why Swift or Rust were created, not why their code is less verbose of Objective-c or C, but because they have a clear syntax, and it helps programmers in their productivity.
