"Good but could be better"
What do you like best about CoffeeScript?

I really liked how it would give me shorthand way to write javascript and would be pretty cool as it works well with ruby on rails however javascript has now caught up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeScript?

Javascript has now caught up and CoffeeScript has not evolved maybe if it had faster build times then I would consider using it again but as it stands to think it is slow and I find no benefits from using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CoffeeScript adds some python like features to javascript "
What do you like best about CoffeeScript?

Coffeescript attempts to simplify javascript syntax by making it shorter like python syntax. It creates a sense of familiarity for developers from a python and ruby background Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeScript?

For traditional javascript developer, the CoffeeScript syntax is a little disorienting and the added burden of transpiling CoffeeScript code to javascript is an added burden Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for the Language"
What do you like best about CoffeeScript?

I like that it coffeescript helps translate what java at times makes is little difficult to read. Especially when trying to learn to write in computer language. This is really beneficial to see the simplicity of coffescript side by side with java to compare the differences and helps me grow as someone interested in writing computer programs. I also love the fact it is compatible with the system we use at work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeScript?

So far I have not had anything to dislike about coffescript. I just started to learn about the program very recently and it helps assist with the length of the program required by java and reduces the amount of code needed to be written. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Really easy to update, edit and change, even for non-techies... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeScript?

What do you like best about CoffeeScript?

CoffeeScript added some additional features and concise syntax on top of JavaScript which made for faster writing and easier reading easier reading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ultimately the features that coffee script added are now available in ES2015. Additionally many of the features that coffee script provided are not actually good for writing maintainable stable code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Just like JavaScript!"
What do you like best about CoffeeScript?

Truly this software is just like JavaScript. You can use JavaScript and CoffeeScript library interchangeably with ease! Not only that, but it is actually a bit easier than JavaScript, since it is easier to read and understand. The syntax is so simple, even a beginner can use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CoffeeScript?

This is an all around good program. If I had to nitpick at something, I guess it would be the fact that if the complexity increases, then the variable is easy to repeat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
