Out of curiosity I ran this over some JS code I've written before. I noticed that JS converted to coffee looks absolutely shitty compared to code that was written in coffee to begin with. This leads me to think how much of your code style can be influenced by the syntax of your language. coffee's syntax encourages your to create many small functions which gives coffee code its uinque look. In JS, creating functions is just cumbersome enough to type so you don't do it as often, leading to completely different code. (my https://github.com/pilif/tempalias/blob/master/lib/tempalias.js https://github.com/pilif/tempalias/blob/master/lib/tempalias... is a very good example of quite-acceptably looking JS that gets butchered looks-wise when translated into coffee)
