I think, and have seen others blog the same, that coffeescript fixed ECMAScript 5, and ECMAScript 6 broke coffeescript. I can't remember the details now but I think there are some conflicts in how object attributes are iterated (i in x vs. i of x etc.) and possibly generators and other nice new features of ECMAScript 6. Definitely agree that JS dev. needs to be approached through a library etc. Just started looking at React. There are a lot of choices to make (Angular, Vue?, etc.). Got to say the "my choice is best" holy wars seems more intense in the JS realm. Cheers -Terry -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
