Nice answer. I've gone from Java->Haskell->Clojure->CoffeeScript. I was never fluent in Haskell->Clojure but I could get around.

But being completely familiar with Java, CoffeeScript/JavaScript feels nice. I really like underscore.js. When googling for why people don't like JavaScript, it seems that CoffeeScript has already fixed all those problems.

So people only care about syntax? No wonder there is so much buggy software out there.

I can only guess you're reacting to me saying, "I like JavaScript because it lets me type less". Unfortunately, I didn't say that.
