A comment on CoffeeScript is not a language worth learning.

I don't the fact that CoffeeScript can't be debugged until browsers support it. JavaScript errors are bad enough, but until I can get a CoffeeScript source line number in an error I simply refuse.

Those are just compile errors, though. As far as I know, it's up to the runtime host (WebKit, Firefox, etc.) to implement support for CoffeeScript dbeugging, and that's still in the works.
