I tried CoffeeScript for a project, and went back to plain Javascript.
Maybe that's a Ruby/Perl thing that I didn't get. It's almost "too expressive", which I found myself spent quite some time thinking about "how to say something" in a elegant manner, instead of just saying it.
Just say it first and then worry about how to say it more elegantly. I know it's hard to resist the urge to make it perfect the first time, but I guess that's required skill in many situations anyway.
