JavaScript certainly has it's quirks, but if you get to know it it's not a bad language.

And since CoffeeScript compiles to JavaScript you can use it anywhere JS runs...

It's not a bad language as long as you know it well enough to know which parts of it are the bad parts so you can avoid them.

...and that's what makes it a bad language.

Or just don't learn the bad parts to begin with.

That's why there's a book called "JavaScript: The good parts" :)
