I often use js2coffee.heroku.com to help me convert JS to CoffeeScript. Here was a line of JS I was converting.
if ( $this.is(':checked') && radioLabel.data('showif') === 'yes' ){
In CoffeeScript, I wrote this:
if $this.is(':checked') && radioLabel.data('showif') == 'yes'
As a Rubyist, I've known about CS's keyword operators (and, or, is, and the like), but I've avoided them because in Ruby, they have different precedence. But CS's and and or seem to map directly to JS's && and ||, respectively, without any funny business. Thus, js2coffee rendered that line
if $this.is(":checked") and radioLabel.data("showif") is "yes"
So here's my question. Even if there's no functional difference between the two, there's definitely a stylistic difference. I'd love to write the most idiomatic CS possible. So is there a more widely use standard in the CS community between these two styles?
