I think CoffeeScript is easier for certain values of "easier". My position is that there are important senses in which easier can mean harder. You know, like how worse can be better. I literally meant a lisp. I'm a big fan of mostly-functional programming, but a functional tendency is just one of the features that hang together—along with the absence of syntax and lexical scoping and macros and maybe something I've forgotten—that make lisp what it is. My natural style is polemical. My thoughts tend to the nuanced. That's often a bad combination.
