"Instead, it's about having shorter, more expressive code."

yes, but at the expense of a lot of other negative baggages that comes along with it. by having it's own compiler rather than leaving that to the browser seems like it's opening a can of worms.

and just reading from the comments, i can see how we could soon see a birth of "another language", that's supposed to be solve all problems coffeescript'ers face.

for one, i guess readability seems to be the common problem, which isn't good for productivity.

It sounds like you haven't ever used CoffeeScript?

Don't you find it a little odd that you have such strong opinions on something you've never even tried?
