I frequently experiment with new programming languages (go, Rust, others) and I like Dart and have tried it. That's significant evidence that I'm not close minded. However CoffeeScript was at least for me the first of its kind, so maybe my negative perception has stuck with it unfairly. I do find it hard to read, but I'll tell you what I'll give it a try. :P

I found it a little awkward to read at first, but that went away in a short time. I suggest giving it a proper whirl. Most people who I've introduced to CS seem to really like it.
