[Mid Night Murmur] The problem of coffeescript and scss (or everything that will be compiled into js/css)
Here is the one-line explanation of the title:
“The problem is, they break the debugger, live editing tool, or the fast fix ability between code and browser”.
The problem source? “compiling”.
Compiling destroys the source code structure and all the line number become meaningless - so error messages are much less useful (or even useless), your development shortcut is break as all your hot fixes on browser need more time to merge.
In my opinion, syntax of SCSS is good, and some idea of coffeescript are good (as long as you are not hating its syntax). However, compiling is bad, really really bad for anything on browser.
