#4As a heavy user of Closure Compiler and a fan of CoffeeScript, I love love love the potential here.
@jashkenas -- any thoughts/concerns with this? How likely is it to hit main branch?

I commented on this blog post a long time ago here on HN. So did many other HNer.
Whatever you might think about Closure, please do not make up your mind about it from this article. The author does not seem to be an experienced javascript developer (at that time).

Not likely to hit the main branch, as it requires everyone who uses the language to also to use the Google Closure library, as well as the Closure compiler. But as a fork, I think it's brilliant.

It's an optional mode via command line, no? Opt-in won't require anyone to use closure.

#8Interesting. With this and ClojureScript, I might need to take a deeper look at Closure.

Fair enough ... it's definitely worth considering seriously. I'd probably wait until it's "finished" according to Michael, and then look at if it's possible to add enough hooks to the compiler for it to be implemented as a plugin. Ideally you'd be able to emit different annotations depending on your use case, for example: lots of other folks have requested automatic JSDoc annotations.

Love it. Could also imagine an ES5 mode, etc.
