Fucking useless languages that compile into other languages but provide no real benefit other than some trendy syntax crap.

    @inukinator well I mostly used to write CoffeeScript (or TypeScript depending on project) to have classes. Since I started using ES6 + Babel, I've never used Coffee again for new projects.

    @gitpush Mmm not really... maybe the most noticeable difference is that TypeScript is a typed language (even though it also provides a type 'Any' so... 😂).

    @Treighton sure but I'm talking about the ones that don't provide any real benefit and in turn work to divide the community of the language hey compile down to for no reason.

    *cough*.. coffee script.. *cough*
