@raganwald I am glad that arrow functions have made it into standard JS and yes, even PHP. It feels elegant.

    @phred I remember so many people cackling "CoffeeScript is dead" when ES2015 dropped. But it was only dead in the least interesting way, the way that matters for CTOs planning tooling migrations and looking at pools of talent. I prefer to think of ES2015 as "Merging CoffeeScript into main." It is still there, because JS today wouldn't be what it is if CoffeeScript hadn't lit a fire under JS' butt.
