@DavidMurdoch you really gave the -1? I'm no fan of CoffeeScript either, but everyone should choose 
  the tool [s]he is most productive with. – Boldewyn Jul 9 at 5:49

  @Boldewyn, I did. My justifications for it were that a) The question is tagged JavaScript, and b) a down 
  vote on a question that was on its way to 100+ up votes in less than a day isn't going to put a dent in anyone's 
  day. I even thought about flagging it as off-topic, but figured that was going a little bit too far. :-)

  The question was tagged Javascript, but the question is, "How does Trello do this". Seriously, you think 
  it's appropriate to penalize the answerer for the fact that Trello didn't actually do it directly in Javascript?

  @DavidMurdoch Would you have preferred the compiled JavaScript?! – Mario Jul 9 at 17:35

  @ElchononEdelson, yes, I realized this (the question is also tagged Trello). While its appropriateness 
  is debatable, the answerer is the developer that wrote the code in CoffeeScript in the first place - and *that* 
  may very well warrant a down vote in-and-of itself. (I'm kidding, mostly). – David Murdoch Jul 9 at 21:11

  @Mario, yes. Although, I did compile it to JavaScript myself; it was equally hideous. – David Murdoch Jul 9 at

  I don't think the appropriateness is debatable. I think the appropriateness is thoroughly and completely 
  absent. – Elchonon Edelson Jul 9 at 21:22 
  
  `
  Hm, well then maybe it is just my visceral loathing for CoffeeScript that made me do it. – David Murdoch Jul 9

  So, in conclusion: haters gonna hate? – BoltClock♦ Jul 11 at 3:29
