Long Live CoffeeScript and Long Live ES6

Clearly ES6 is a huge improvement over ES5, and tools like [6to5][] allow us to use these cool features now. I was reading [Replace CoffeeScript with ES6][replace coffeescript] by [Blake Williams][] and thought it was a great summary of how ES6 solves many of the same problems that CoffeeScript solves; however I'd like to comment on a few of Blake's points and talk about why I'll be sticking with CoffeeScript.

Classes

Classes in ES6 (like many of the syntax changes in ES6) are very similar to the CoffeeScript equivalent. To support browsers that are not fully ES5 compliant (e.g. IE8-), however, we still can't really use getters/setters, so ignoring these the comparison is:

Markdown and reStructuredText

GitHub supports several lightweight markup languages for documentation; the most popular ones (generally, not just at GitHub) are Markdown and reStructuredText. Markdown is sometimes considered easier to use, and is often preferred when the purpose is simply to generate HTML. On the other hand, reStructuredText is more extensible and powerful, with native support (not just embedded HTML) for tables, as well as things like automatic generation of tables of contents.

I am the owner of lvh.me. And I'm glad to hear it's helpful. In truth, it's just a fancy DNS trick. lhv.me  and all of it's sub-domains just point back to your computer (127.0.0.1).  That means running ssl is as simple (or difficult) as running ssl on your computer.

I'm not sure how comfortable you are with the command line, but here's my how I setup my development environment. (rvm, passenger, nginx w/ SSL, etc).


# Install rvm (no sudo!)
# ------------------------------------------------------
bash < <( curl http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/releases/rvm-install-head )
source ~/.rvm/scripts/rvm
rvm install ree-1.8.7-2010.02
