		samgro on Dec 14, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: A Case Against Using CoffeeScript I just spent my entire day tracking down a missing "var" that caused a bug only in Internet Explorer.

You can set up your IDE to automatically run your code through JSLint or JSHint, which will detect such errors.
