Hi, I don't want to mess here with discussion about the article, but where can I do so?

The mentioned hacker news discussion page seems to be closed.

Why not here?

Ok, so it is a bit fun to hear someone reasoning about coffeescript is not worth to learn, and have a published book about coffeescript in the meantime. OTOH he should have been really met coffeescript, and know coffeescript :)

A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing.

While CoffeeScript might not change the way some people think, teaching people CoffeeScript to change the way they think is a noble effort.
