I have no idea why, but CoffeeScript gives me a "kid on Christmas" feeling when I code in it. I never realized how much mental load went into counting braces and curly brackets, how many times I've tried randomly copy-pasting a variable assignment into different parts of a script until I stopped getting an error, etc. This weekend, I decided to pick up Node, and, to kill 2 birds with one stone, I've been rewriting every tutorial I've used as CoffeeScript just to test myself.
I've tried to think about potential improvements to CoffeeScript, but I have to say that I'm completely satisfied with the language now. Many of the things that I think would sweeten the language even more are easily achieved by simply including 3rd party JavaScript libraries.

This is how I learned Angular and CS, by writing the todo apps in CS...after a bit, it was much easier to think and reprocess the concepts in my head as coffee script, especially when it came to test writing. I think the must-have for me is te bevy of ways to do auto compilation these days
