I've found the second case is actually the fix to the first; any funky compiler interpretation of my source is immediately visible in the .js code. But overall I agree; I wish they'd fixed the JS quirks that they did, allowed indentation instead of braces, added their lambda syntax, and stopped about there. It goes too far on optional syntax and functional features that are gradually being added to JS anyway.
