CoffeeScript: less typing, bad readability

While I agree with your points,

    doSomething () -> 'hello' just isn't valid code.

Is valid code. Not that you'd ever actually want to use it:

    coffee> doSomething = (fn) -> if fn then fn() else (-> 'hi')
    doSomething = (fn) -> if fn then fn() else (-> 'hi')
    [Function]
    coffee>  doSomething() -> 'hello'
    doSomething() -> 'hello'
    'hi'
    coffee> doSomething () -> 'hello'
    doSomething () -> 'hello'
    'hello'
