CoffeeScript or plain JavaScript?

Viewed 1826

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).

What would probably be less pain for him:

  • Learn CoffeeScript and use it for "coding JavaScript"??
  • Properly learn JavaScript and use that directly??

I'm thinking about

  • Proper debugging
  • Coding syntax
  • ...

Does anyone have experiences in a similar scenario??
