If you can&#x27;t read CoffeeScript then just compile it to JS. Result is more readable than most people produce in JS by hand.<p>For me CoffeeScript is just shorthand syntax for well structured, fast JS although I agree that ES6 is good CoffeeScript replacement (destructuring FTW) if you can suffer through braces, colons and `function` keyword.<p>TypeScript is all the rage today.
