I started writing some of my code in coffeescript a while ago, but then I started a coffeescript project that grew into a file of 2000 lines and it became very hard to skim the code and gather meaning from it because of the lack of parenthesis and the indentation-based nature of it.



If your file is disorganized, I bet spaces and parentheses have very little to do with it.


In what language do you routinely find 2000 lines files that are skimmable? Best to split it up logically, problem solved.


You can still use parenthesis if you find them more readable. Coffeescript won't complain.
