You've completely missed one of the author's most critical points. Verbosity isn't the problem. I actually hate CoffeeScript's syntax, but the language clearly reduces the thought-load of dealing with JavaScript. HAML really does nothing to reduce the thought-load of dealing with HTML, even if I might prefer its syntax to HTML's.
