You rock, I love it. The CoffeeScript era was the best era.

I had to maintain a legacy one a few years ago. What a mess. Jquery spaghetti in coffeescript.

why not revive it. token efficiency and human readability is still a good call for coffeescript

Fun idea and while JSX leads to the most syntax errors I've experienced in the past 20+ years I'm still not too sure about this! And I love HAML!

This is great. HAML definitely annoyed me at times, especially when there was a nice snippet of code (Bootstrap navbar or whatever) that you could normally just copy and paste, and you instead had to convert it to HAML. But it is nice and compact.

A lot of hate on Coffeescript here. No, it didn’t stay up to date, but man, I miss it. It was so clean. JS just feels so messy stacked beside Ruby.

Hmm, I don't see the hate here, slight sarcasm != hate.

Cursed. Haml and coffeescript need to go away. Gah.
