Why would you work "almost exclusively" in a language you don't like? There are plenty of opportunities on software with all sorts of languages.

CoffeeScript and other macro languages are cool, but currently there is no way to debug and step through the source. I can't wait for the day that CoffeeScript has a robust debugger.
