This is such a bummer to me. I was a late-comer to CoffeeScript (just joined a project at a company that's been using it for years), and I absolutely love it. I was really skeptical ("JavaScript works just fine! Why change the syntax for no reason?"), but it's so slick. |

- Future compatible, more interoperable
- ES6 classes can extend each other in a standards compliant way
- CS arrow functions feel verbose compared to ES6
- Constants
- More tooling support
- More features
- Upcoming features, like ES7 async/await have polyfills that you can use today (as opposed to CS - https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/pull/3813)
Though I do miss a couple of things:
- The last expression in a block is implicitly returned (nice sugar for functional programming)
- Ranges ([1..10])
