I'm bilingual (English/Portuguese), and use both JavaScript and CoffeeScript.
And I'm not "intuitively comfortable" at all with CoffeeScript -- it has nice Python-esque features which I love, but its seemingly arbitrary parsing edge cases drive me mad.
But I think that one's comfort with using CoffeeScript depends entirely on their level of comfort and knowledge of Python and JavaScript. I don't feel like linguistic skills have any bearing. But it's an interesting idea!
