CoffeeScript is interesting. So far I did not experiment with it too much. So I'm not sure if I would like to do work in it. On one hand, it looks nicely terse. On the other hand it looks a bit cryptic. The thing that stops me from trying it for a project is not the language, but the available environments. Having an additional compliation step adds complexity to the system and the workflow. One thing I cannot resist to say is that to me "hello $name" is sexier then "hello #{name}" :)
