The last CD I bought was DRM protected. It was impossible to play it on my car stereo. I had to make a recording/copy and burn that to a cd in order to play it. Never bought a CD again.

Imagine I would make the money I pay for media also DRM protected, so it can only be spend in a specific way? Would they accept my money?

> an upgrade target for existing codebases

That might be a little naive. I pick Coffeescript in a reflex without even considering ESxx, and I regularly start new projects large and small with it that go into production. It's a breeze compared to some of the modern Javascript codebases I have to work on. My overall development speed is definitely faster in Coffeescript, less bugs, no countless babel add-ons, no linters etc.. and the codebase often speaks for itself, less annotations, less code. Efficiency means a lot to me.

I still use CS every day on multiple projects. IMAO CS is one of the best non-typed languages out there. It's really sad that so many modern/babel JS proponents fail to see the beauty of it.

I hope that this release (and hopefully future releases) will help to keep CS alive. Thanks to all contributors!
