Making Coffeescript’s Whitespace More Significant

There was a conversation on this recently on HN. IIRC jashkenas said he liked the idea but it would be better to encourage library author's to write a functional style enabling chaining rather than adding a new feature to the language.

Btw, I found that missing too in Python and created Moka (http://www.phzbox.com/moka/ It's still in heavy construction)

Actually, that was in response to a previous request for a dedicate chaining syntax. This syntax is actually more useful for dealing with when chaining is already implemented.

Saw your presentation at Montréal-Python, it was very good.

Have you played with pointfree (http://markshroyer.com/docs/pointfree/latest/module.html#mod...)? What do you think about it compared to Moka?
