Carl and Richard talk to the one-and-only Rob Conery about CoffeeScript. Why would you use a language to generate Javascript? Rob talks about how CoffeeScript is designed to be human readable while JavaScript is much more machine-readable. Indents matter! No curly braces! Dogs and cats living together! It's chaos! But it's a happy chaos. Check it out!
Rob Conery is co-founder of Tekpub, co-host of This Developers Life, and the creator of SubSonic. Previously, Rob worked at Microsoft on the ASP.NET team. Rob specializes in simple design forged in "the doing of things" rather than the philosophy of what an application "should" be like. He works primarily in ASP.NET MVC but has recently transitioned much of his work into Ruby on Rails, including the Tekpub site. He lives in Kauai, Hawaii, with his wife Kathy and two daughters Madeleine and Ruby.
