I saw your project a while ago and it was really interesting.
What kind of contribution are you looking for exactly? What aspects of the project need help?

Haven't you heard the news? Java is dead, Oracle killed it.

Also, that Java isn't JavaScript so it has no place here.

We used to say that JavaScript is not Java, I wouldn't have imagined that apparently we have to say it's not CSS either.

Why all this off topic stuff lately?
What the heck.

Indeed, I don't think CoffeeScript is still relevant.
But we have to admit that it spun a lot of innoation in the JavaScript community in the past, leading to the whole ES6 new syntax. A lot ot remarkable projects (Atom comes to mind) are built using CoffeeScript.

But now that ES6 *is* here... well... It looks like it's yet-another-language-that-compiles-to-JavaScript. With nothing much to add, I'm afraid.

Well, it's the usual drill: when not holding primitive values, it's the reference to the object to be immutable, not the object itself.
You're better off with Object.freeze (which does not deep-freeze it anyway).

> Ok, as I said for another commenter, it seems that you missed the point.

Or maybe you haven't been clear enough?

> Eric and Feross were _examples_.

In fact, I said "for example Eric Elliott..." Can't I use your own examples?

> my post aim to _ask_ what you people think about it, if we can do something about if, if you think it's ok like this, if you feel the same way I do.

And that's exactly what I posted.
Or maybe you don't think I did because that wasn't the answer you were expecting?

Arrogant people are harmful to *every* community, not just Javascript's. But still, as a general rule it's better to point out toxic behaviors right when they happen, not with a call-to-arms action.

You can also do that publically, so if you're right more will follow your complaint and the recipient will eventually get the message. And if they don't, you can still ignore them. Or just ignore those parts you don't like.

Now, for example Eric Elliott has been told quite some times how draconian his opinions sound, and how they put people off at times. He's not changed much but still, you can be smart about it and think: "It's just Eric's opinion after all", and if everything's is fine with you then it's ok and you can treasure all of his good points.

Remember that not everyone is a master of communication. Maybe some just fail to give the right impression but they're wonderful persons in other contexts.
