Coffeescript 2?
blitmap opened this issue · comments
Hi,
I in no way want to create a counter-productive conversation.
I saw that Hubot relatively recently converted to Javascript from Coffeescript. For a while it was uncertain if Coffeescript would support transpiling to ES2015 Javascript. When I looked through the issues raised it seemed related to how Coffeescript did import/require(). Now there is officially a Coffeescript 2 that supports ES2015 classes.
I don't know what I'm suggesting, but had this been looked at?
https://coffeescript.org/#classes
Feel free to tell me this has been settled and I'll bugger off. :)
That is good to know about coffeescript 2, thanks!
I don't see us switching back to coffeescript now that we have moved over though. The main motiviations in my mind are:
- using javascript means it's more approacable to existing javascript developers than coffeescript is
- it is simpler for letting users use their own coffee-script version, rather than being tied to hubot's required version.
