CoffeeScript is always going to be less verbose than JavaScript, but in the context of a full code file having some functions with parentheses and some without isn't a pleasant consistent experience in my book. Another thing CoffeeScript handles unelegantly is two anonymous functions (very common when a function needs an onsuccess and an onerror): api.get( -> # Success here. -> # Failure here. ) The benefit of curlies is you get a consistent experience and don't have to go to Stackoverflow to find out when you need commas or parentheses and when you don't.
