No, it isn't. underscore is the most depended on module in npm. there are, right now, 711 modules that depend on coffeescript, which is to say there are ~711 modules written in coffeescript in npm out of 12357. 711 / 12375 = ~0.05 so, around 5 percent of the modules in npm are in coffeescript. leaving some room for other compile-to languages let's say that *at least* 90% of the modules in npm are written in plain javascript. that's a solid majority and it's a legitimate claim that writing modules in javascript will lead to more people being able to use it, contribute to it, and help you maintain it. > > > -- > Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ > Posting guidelines: > https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "nodejs" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs?hl=en?hl=en -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
