CoffeeScript: less typing, bad readability

I totally agree that CoffeeScript brings a lot to the table compared to old feature-less JavaScript. But the author is talking about readability of the language, and not about the features that it has.

The problem that he points out about "Implicit is better than explicit" and "There is more than one way to do it" are quite serious problems that modern languages shouldn't have.

See quote at the top, last paragraph from the post. His conclusion is that these readability problems swamp everything that coffeescript has to offer, which I think is really not the case - especially considering these are mostly style issues.
