I wish I could say blog posts like this helped the cause, but my feeling after reading it is just meh. I'm fanatic about CoffeeScript but there will always be a divide between people who are willing to try it and people who won't. Writing blog posts that effectively regurgitate the documentation while being a bit religiously pushy about it just seem kind of counter to the cause.

Reading the article, I think it's the opening blockquote that got the author's dander up:

>> For example, at Posterous, they use [CoffeeScript] but don’t have any real JavaScript engineers.

The OP probably should have ignored it, but sweeping comments implying that Posterous developers aren't JS engineers is bound to get a response.

I think for someone who already loves CoffeeScript, this stuff shouldn't be review. This post is intended for people who have specific objections to using it.

Anyway. To each his/her own.
