The syntax we're talking about above is probably more confusing and less intuitive than 99% of the Coffeescript out there. Don't be alarmed. If you know Javascript, it's pretty approachable. The syntax is small, but all makes sense. You do need to give it a chance (read about it) and actually try it to really like it-- but that's true of any language. What's so amazing about coffeescript is such a small investment of time can payoff so strongly in terms of shrinking your code down it its purest, clearest form.
