JavaScript is Not Web Assembly

Correct. That doesn't make CoffeeScript->JavaScript like C->assembly. In fact, it supports the idea that it's like C++->C. C++ provides stronger type checking than C and provides different syntax for things like constructors, heap allocation, etc.

CoffeeScript->JavaScript is a little like C++->C but it is more like Eiffel->C because CoffeeScript makes no attempt to compile any valid JavaScript.

This is important because C++ is damaged by the attempts to provide C source compatibility.
