CoffeeScript Says What?
CoffeeScript has some misleading syntax. Here's why.
So I've been playing around with CoffeeScript a little, and it seems to be for all intents and purposes a Javascript preprocessor with Python-like syntax and conventions. Awesome! I love Python!
What Coffeescript doesn't seem to have, in one case anyway, is the same sensibilities as Python in terms of readability and being able to make sense of the code you are writing. I was working on fixing a bug in Coffeequate and needed to see if a certain string was a key for a Greek alphabet : LaTeX dictionary (which I created myself...it was a laborious task).
Coming from a Pythonic background, I assumed that you'd type
if string in dictionary
if string of dictionary
I'll leave you to decide.
