Node.js is Cancer (?)

This dude has some strong opinions against using unchecked javascript code to implement backend stuff. I kinda second this. Javascript is a nice language, but I think, the current hype overestimates its usefulness. Technologies like this (PHP anyone) are for web app creators, that “just don’t care” about quality, scalability and all the good things we’re supposed to consider. “Shit just works” always makes me frown. Guess I’m outa the target audience for this…

CoffeeScript

CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath all of those embarrassing braces and semicolons, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous object model at its heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.

The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: “It’s just JavaScript”. The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed, passes through JavaScript Lint without warnings, will work in every JavaScript implementation, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript.

Latest Version: 1.1.1
