Any thoughts on that? It would be really amazing now they are both at feature parity...

[auvipy]

i am not sure

[anodynos]

@rstacruz any chance you get on to it?

Issues jashkenas/coffeescript#4969 and jashkenas/coffeescript#4984 might address the need to translate the latest JS to the latest CoffeeScript.

(Long term I'm hoping the cs2js/js2cs projects will merge to permanently address this kind of problem.)

This is sorely needed!

Really wish this existed 🤕

I don't see any reason to use js2coffee since it doesn't supports syntax that was created 4 years ago..

I use it all the time. Coffeescript is much more readable than es0 and far more readable than es6.

Welp, it's more readable for you, but not for people that are coding in normal JS.

[jahbini]

That is correct for the "write once, test ever, read never" coder on a team. However, I need to qualify large numbers of projects and read massive amounts of code. I can speed read in coffeescript to get the 30,000 level by reading the code. I hope reading the code is not a lost skill.

[dimdenGD]

Also I don't have anything against CoffeeScript, I like it. Right now I'm talking about ES6 to CoffeeScript feature. It's really important, since not a lot of people using classes with function prototypes now, and other stuff from 2015. Cmon, it's been 4 years!

[jahbini]

Yes. I hear polyfills and babel pipelines can be useful. The resultant universal JS can be used as a starting point. Just think of it as a pretty printer for the syntactic strychnine of ES6. (Longbeard rant off)

[auvipy]

I might take on this myself in next 2/3 months.

@auvipy , is any progress?

Thanks.

things changed, I will revisit this again

[rdeforest]

Is there some way I can help?

[Kristinita]

This issue is still relevant as of December 2023.

Thanks.
