I think the OP was pointing out that you can now use CoffeeScript in <script> tags.
I did something like this for Objective-J awhile back, but it's not particularly useful (http://github.com/tlrobinson/cappuccino-experiments/blob/mas...)
Yep, it's not particularly useful -- there's no case I can think of where you wouldn't be better off compiling your scripts to JavaScript first.
But if you just want to play with it, or prototype a web page, it's fun for that.
