No, "we" really do not love significant whitespace.

In 15 years of coding javascript I've never had a significant problem with == vs ===. If anything using === got me into more trouble than using ==, but it really depends on coding …

what a shame you chose to do this in Coffeescript. Would have looked much more beautiful if written in JavaScript.

I agree. Also they aren't using 1TBS for the code examples, and that will naturally lead to noob javascript programmers running into trouble when they inevitably type return { hell…

It still does nothing to support the millions of IE6, 7 & 8 users, and VML has been around since IE5.x - it's really not much different than SVG either. Seeing a vector library the…

I agree with everything you are saying. Coffeescript really is for people who prefer a ruby/python syntax, and who just don't like javascript's syntax. BEATUY IS IN THE EYE OF THE …

I don't agree with your opinion at all. Your claim that coffeescript is somehow 'better' than javascript is just false. You prefer one syntax, fine, but don't assume that it is som…
