so, I would like to have a chat about switching the language LCL is written in. Specifically switching to a newer dialect of javascript itself.
ES2015 has many of the nice features of coffee script, and more besides but with (in my opinion at least) less of the baggage that makes me dislike it.
This wouldn't have to be a big bang style rewrite either. with the webpack build system it's easy to keep coffee script files around, just rewriting them when the time comes.
