It's actually a really nice language. But yes, it was a fad that is mostly irrelevant now...

I still use it daily since I find it so much easier to write and read than having my code littered with semicolons and braces, and it enforces correct whitespace. I do see its limitations, and I wish efforts to marry Coffeescript with Typescript would be more serious.

It's really not. Coffeescript might be nice with fresh development and a small codebase but it's really bad when you're trying to figure out someone else's code.

That can be said of any loosely typed language. I agree that, overall, I'd always prefer something like TS or Java.
