I would not be surprised if spinning up on CoffeeScript was easier for beginners without real JavaScript experience.

  yeah, probably. Dunno if it's a good thing, that people start with a transcompiled language...

    That's just an implementation detail. CoffeeScript has syntax and semantics every bit as valid as JS's.

      True story. JavaScript seems like a mix of C and Scheme CoffeeScript seems like a mix of Ruby and Python

  It was much easier to get started to CoffeeScript for me, and learning it made me much more comfortable with writing JavaScript directly straight after.
