I am looking for some insight on learning CoffeeScript without learning pure JavaScript.
I currently write CSS/SASS and HTML/HAML and I would like to learn JavaScript. I know very basic JavaScript but I have not taken it very far. I really like the syntax of CoffeeScript and it makes more sense to me.
Would learning just CoffeeScript screw up my learning?
Yes absolutely learn javascript first! Coffeescript compiles down into it, and when the client is running your code it will be raw javascript. How do you expect to debug it without understanding the language?
