• Javascript is nice but...
• CoffeeScript is great, seriously easy to pick up especially if
your a java guy.

8. COFFESCRIPT WORKS WITH JAVASCRIPT..
..AND VICE VERSA
JAVASCRIPT
var routes = require(“./lib/routes”);
COFFEESCRIPT
exports.setupRoutes = (app) ->
app.namespace “/”, ->
app.get “/”, (req, res) ->
res.send “These are not the droids”
