Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that I can do nice stuff such as callback?() and some other nifty tricks, but while I'm still having fun using coffeescript, in my experience it's not that great as most people make it up to be.
I prefer words to symbols any day. I think coffee's ternary is better. Also, I have no problem throwing singular @s around cuz they're short and get used so often, but typing out 'this' would be fine too.
