CoffeeScript

And I had another project I started in 2013, Ruby2.js. It's still out there.

This is back when... jQuery and CoffeeScript are popular because JavaScript sucked and browsers sucked and these things helped.

And one of the nice things about JavaScript is people would write JavaScript on the server and the client and be able to write code that runs both places.

I wanted to run Ruby on both places, so I wrote a Ruby2JS transpiler.

[laughs] Yep.

[laughs] If they call it CoffeeScript, I will straight up die.

[laughs] Uh, please.

Well, is it- Please ... wait, isn't CoffeeScript an actual thing? Yes.

Yeah.

Which is why it'd be so funny.

As React, AngularJS comes out, I found that to be easy 'cause it looked a lot like what I was used to.

React comes out, and I'm writing it in CoffeeScript at this time in this first job.

Oh my God, I used that too.

And I-

And that sort of started with

CoffeeScript, right?

Right? Yeah.

Well, I still remember writing freaking jQuery, which is still a lot of the internet today, despite it being like the fallen out of favor.
