I got to know that discourse was using a hybrid Coffeescript platform.  
I found this [Topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-it-better-for-discourse-to-use-javascript-or-coffeescript/3153) created by @sam back in 2013, where I got to know a lot of views from experienced developers.

as at 2016, I was wondering whether coffeescript will further improve the language or will it become obsolete. _(is coffeescript a language worth learning?)_

Looking for your opinions on this matter. _(btw any typescript devs here?)_

I’m sorry but meta is a place to discuss the Discourse software, not your favorite programming language 😉
