This is unrelated to the discussion at hand, but: I'd been writing JS for a while, but it wasn't until I picked up CoffeeScript that I really grasped JS.

I know that sounds strange, but CoffeeScript taught me important concepts in JS which I just couldn't grasp beforehand. Prototypal inheritance, scoping, object construction, and use, etc.

I'm a pretty big advocate at this point. Contrary to what a lot of its detractors say, CoffeeScript insinuated in my mind most of the JS best practices. Going back to JS from CoffeeScript, I found JS just as easy to correctly write and use as CoffeeScript had ever been.

How about that?
