Long Live CoffeeScript and Long Live ES6

Clearly ES6 is a huge improvement over ES5, and tools like [6to5][] allow us to use these cool features now. I was reading [Replace CoffeeScript with ES6][replace coffeescript] by [Blake Williams][] and thought it was a great summary of how ES6 solves many of the same problems that CoffeeScript solves; however I'd like to comment on a few of Blake's points and talk about why I'll be sticking with CoffeeScript.

Classes

Classes in ES6 (like many of the syntax changes in ES6) are very similar to the CoffeeScript equivalent. To support browsers that are not fully ES5 compliant (e.g. IE8-), however, we still can't really use getters/setters, so ignoring these the comparison is:

var gulp        = require('gulp'),
    gutil       = require('gulp-util'),
    styl        = require('gulp-styl'),
    inline      = require('rework-inline'),
    csso        = require('gulp-csso'),
    uglify      = require('gulp-uglify'),
    jade        = require('gulp-jade'),
    coffee      = require('gulp-coffee'),
    concat      = require('gulp-concat'),
    livereload  = require('gulp-livereload'), // Livereload plugin needed: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/livereload/jnihajbhpnppcggbcgedagnkighmdlei

JedWatson

This is an example of how to scaffold API endpoints to list / get / create / update / delete Posts in a Keystone website.

It's a modification of the default project created with the yo keystone generator (see https://github.com/JedWatson/generator-keystone)

Gists don't let you specify full paths, so in the project structure the files would be:

routes-index.js        -->    /routes/index.js         // modified to add the api endpoints
routes-api-posts.js    -->    /routes/api/posts.js     // new file containing the Post API route controllers

files = [os.path.join(path,f) for f in os.listdir(path) if os.path.splitext(f.lower())[1] in input_format]
