The way that this manages to transform those examples makes me think that it would make all kinds of other things more palatable than the vanilla coffee script. I've written chains of callbacks in plain JS that this would make so much nicer to work with.
Can't agree more. There is no other language in the world that needs this as badly as JS does.
- I am hoping that this would be merged back if it could be somehow concluded that there isn't a much cleaner way to achieve the same result. Even if the resulting JS isn't as clean as what CS produces now. The ICS approach looks safe; they could be assured by similar approaches in more mainstream languages, most prominently C# (and F#) which have much bigger teams attacking the same problems.
If the prospect of this getting merged back looks bleak, I might consider switching ICS once I am convinced there aren't any other breaking issues.
