> So what does CoffeeScript give me, that JavaScript does not already have? It actually doesn't give you anything. This seems like the core of your argument against CoffeeScript, but it's fundamentally flawed. CoffeeScript fixes javascript's warts, eg. it gives consistent scoping rules, simplied/sane classes, list comprehensions, enforces per file encapsulation etc. You seem to think that CoffeeScript is about aesthetics, but that's probably the least important feature of it.
