You're spending so much effort to distance yourself from javascript, when javascript isn't difficult, and coffeescript doesn't solve many problems while introducing its own problems. You must be a masochist if you support coffeescript so much and just refuse to code javascript. It's just such a backwards way to develop. Coffeescript is not becoming "widespread", and it doesn't require a "hacker mentality", it is simply a syntax fetish that dithers modern web development. It is a "made-up" language that has been way over-hyped to the point that people start believing that it's a good thing to stick yet another abstraction layer between the DOM and the code. Updates to coffeescript have broken existing code, how is this a good thing? Good luck with that.
