CoffeeScript has the ideal syntax for configurations

Disclaimer: Having a background in C-like languages like Java, JavaScript, PHP, and C# has caused a problem for me to embrace languages like Python, Ruby, and CoffeeScript. I'd consider myself more of a laggard than a trend-setter when it comes to new technologies and languages. I've often questioned why? even when the answer is clear. This attitude has made me biased against CoffeeScript, even though it provides useful benefits and features that provide justification to why a developer would maintain a codebase with it. While I may not be a fan of coding with CoffeeScript, I'm absolutely hating writing configurations with JavaScript. There
