I love mikeal's work and contributions to the node.js community — but I didn't care for this bit of satire. Some folks legitimately enjoy the experience of programming in CoffeeScript. I don't happen to be one of them. But I'm also not one to pass judgement on other programmers' choice of tools.

(EDIT: Although I do pass judgement silently.)

Some people have been legitimately stuck using CoffeeScript because of rails or an employer or a client. These are among the people who will enjoy a lighthearted rant about CoffeeScript.

While an employer or client might, RoR doesn't force you to use CoffeeScript.
