I was very resistant to it at first, as well. As it turns out, it was really for no good reason at all. After diving in and forcing myself to use it on a project, comparing that project's CS to an older project's JS sold me on using it forever. It's simply easier to read, more concise, and thus, easier to maintain. But to each his own!
I do have to say, though, that the significant whitespace bothered me when I first started using CoffeeScript, but I've grown to like it. If every language had significant whitespace, we may have had working SSL on our Apple devices for the past couple of years :) On Saturday, March 1, 2014 11:05:29 AM UTC-5, Jerry Arns wrote: > > Yea, that's all I wanted to say. > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
