title: CoffeeScript or plain JavaScript?
body: <p>when the average ASP.net C# programmer (with very poor JavaScript knowledge other than scripting some hide() show() effects) would have to switch from building ASP.net WebForms apps to a RIA JavaScript application (client-server architecture like). </p>
  
  <p>What would probably be less pain for him:  </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Learn CoffeeScript and use it for "coding JavaScript"??</li>
  <li>Properly learn JavaScript and use that directly??</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'm thinking about </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Proper debugging</li>
  <li>Coding syntax</li>
  <li>...</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Does anyone have experiences in a similar scenario??</p>
