I've worked with both, ES6 is definitely a big progress on Coffeescript, but it takes like 80% of the things from coffee IMO, except the indentation syntax and list comprehension, added an `import` keyword.
My point is: don't complain about coffeescript while cheer at ES6, they are mostly the same.
But lets be honest, there are some attitude somewhere in the original comment, and I admire him being open.
This is not humour, this is aggressive.
I don't want to say the word "perfect language", but there is no such language that can meet the demands of every nerd on the planet, the goal of the Go programming language is stated clearly, compiling speed overweight the needs for generics, that's why LLVM is not considered for the go compiler.
Also the language is considered feature complete, if one doesn't want to met with "angry pitchforks", do the homework, e.g. the generics topic has been picked up over and over, that it's not funny anymore, if you are interested, the amount of debate online can take days to read.
Not to mention rust, it's adoption is nowhere comparable to Java, see what happened to Sun, I would boldly say Mozilla's mission has completed.
Pure wisdom.
LOL
Shouldn't it be called Rails 4.3? That been said, you could get the performance improvement by just upgrading to ruby 2.2.2
