> there are, right now, 711 modules that depend on coffeescript, which is to say there are ~711 modules written in coffeescript
You overall point about the "market share" is right, however this particular sentence is wrong. I have three or four modules in npm that are written in CS and they do not depend on (require) coffeescript. I don't know what percentage do. If I had to guess I'd say 10% total are written in CS and that percentage is growing rapidly. I personally would "interact" with a project written in CS but I'm not going to do that in JS. So there is at least one programmer (and probably many more) that would be attracted to a project in CS, not repelled. I also have this inherent religious belief in using the best available tool for the job, not the most popular. If a module I do is not the most popular, then so be it. Your awesome modules would be just as awesome in CS and have the same following. -- 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.
