Hi gary4gar, Brendan Eich is working on the next version and parts of it will be inspired by CoffeeScript. That said, you will probably be well off learning all three!

Maybe but I find that both jQuery and CoffeeScript shine a good light on JavaScript's functional side.

I really think you will learn to write better JS by studying it along with CS. When you get the feel of it, I don't think you'll find jQuery that strange.
