You'd have to already know CoffeeScript and Rails to benefit from this framework. I've used neither so personally I'd have a lot of trouble and a steep learning curve.

This builds on top of two other frameworks (Connect and Express) so I imagine the dependency stack for this framework is really long which might make debugging painful.

Not necessarily, it's effectively no different than if you were to support the same feature-set in the single library

When I'm unfamiliar with most of the items being discussed in an article here I usually refrain from commenting.

Items that are relevant to the link:

* JavaScript * Node.js * Connect * Express * CoffeeScript

He is unfamiliar with just one of those.

Why the downvote? His comment contributes to the discussion, unlike yours.
