Why does anyone need CoffeeScript? As a wrapper towards Javascript?
The real way to fix this is by having Javascript be like CoffeeScript. Not by creating a new layer around another language - that is the wrong way to go. | null | 0 | 1315864535 | False | 0 | c2je3ir | t3_kddpb | null | t1_c2je3ir | t3_kddpb | null | 1427591772 | -7 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
