CoffeeScript did end up winning though, all of its important features ended up in the next Javascript spec. It was a bit sad to transition into the slightly less aesthetic next Javascript release, but it also felt triumphant. To me it feels like the CoffeeScript community won. Every time I type some Javascript that's actually not fragile and not absolute garbage, I remember it's because we as a community backed CoffeeScript, and that led to the browsers listening and adding its features to Javascript. I am certain we're doing the same thing now with Typescript.
