Couldn't agree with this more. Specifically, the lost hours due to CoffeeScript.

  Typescript really isn't comparable to coffeescript

  CoffeeScript has the worst tooling ever. QBasic in the 90s had better tooling than CoffeeScript: an integrated editor, debugger, compiler, type validation... let's give it all up to code in vomitscript.

    Have you ever tried Atom? Its interface is written in HTML5 + CoffeeScript, and it targets CoffeeScript as the primary language. Tell the GitHub guys about tooling... But besides, judging a language based on available tooling is akin to judging a CPU based on the computer casing looks. For a real programmer, GNU Nano with appropriate highlighting should be enough. If a language calls itself "high-level" but makes the coding process hard without tooling, it deserves no attention at all.

      A real programmer makes mistakes, and a real programmer automates tasks. That's what programmers are for.
