I DON'T LIKE CoffeeScript either, it's more Ruby like, why can't people just love JavaScript for what it is. Please read the good parts by Crockford or listen to his talks!
it's a big fat "meh" for a lot of people, if you look at the coffeescript source even it looks like complete ass with the exception of the parser, which looks pretty nice and declarative. Some things are certainly nice to have, but those are neither unique nor necessary. The best thing to come out of coffeescript is the glaring "dont use me, I dont understand JavaScript" it places on libraries written with it, I like that.

Actually, i did a lot of ruby and python programming, but I find plain JS synax more readable than CoffeScript.

I'm so waiting for your eventual "I was wrong, CoffeeScript is awesome" post. Someday TJ! Someday
