I really don't understand the point of the blog post. So Javascript can be formatted to look kind of like CoffeeScript? While I agree that Javascript is often misunderstood, to me his formatting of Javascript is making things much worse, in terms of maintenance (yeah...let's all line up equal signs...). I personally DO NOT write CoffeeScript but I think the difference between CoffeeScript and Javascript goes beyond formatting. Writing CoffeeScript seems to me to be a syntactic improvement and eliminates some of the need to really learn Javascript (which I think takes quite a bit of effort)
