Ok, I'll pass on CoffeeScript

foo = 1
fun = ->
foo = 2
fun()
alert(foo) #1
foo = 1
fun = ->
foo := 2
fun()
alert(foo) #2
foo = 42 to mean JavaScript's var foo = 42;
foo := 42 to mean JavaScript's foo = 42;
The issue's been beaten to death, and the consensus among the pro-Coffeescript crowd is that it's acceptable, because you shouldn't be shadowing variables anyway, and the consensus amoung the anti-Coffeescript crowd is that it's terrible because it removes control from the developer.
a = 3
b = ->
for a in [6,7,8]
c = a
b()
console.log(a)
The solution is either to rename one of the 'a' variables or add
`var a`
Coming from C where I always (ok 99% of the time) do:
for (int i=0; ...)
Sure. But how about because actually learning JavaScript is better than coding with training wheels?
