I've been reading recently the module discussions and one particular concept troubled me.
I don't understand the motivation behind an on-the-fly 'translate' loader hook that would compile CoffeeScript into JavaScript. Would every browser have to include a CoffeeScript compiler? Which version? If just seems like the only result would be more 'web fragmentation' by having browsers with different EcmaScript implementations and different compilers/translators of many different languages? How is that going to work out? While I understand the benefits in theory, in practice I get the overwhelming impression that an on-the-fly 'translate' concept is a great way to break the web, not make it any better. Am I missing something, what problem does it solve? Jon
