Is it better for Discourse to use JavaScript or CoffeeScript?

[chadical (Chad_Lancour)]

From a personal perspective, the only reason I would contribute to discourse is because the client base is coffee script. JavaScript… All the amazing innovations in tech… JavaScript? Kids don’t like it, and I’d put 50 bucks that JavaScript is the mainframe tech stack of the next generation(to be replaced). 5 years from now your coffee script can be compiled into JavaScript’s replacement. Discourse is awesome BECAUSE coffescript was used and enables creativity to trump syntax. Switching to JS might just send you “off course”.
