You forgot that Spider embraces JS prototypes instead of just adding classes, ES6 target, explicit global scope usage, string interpolation, splats, `for-in` and `for-of`, list comprehensions, existential operator, ranges, and much more.

Take a look at http://spiderlang.org/ :)

That all went under "everything Coffeescript has". Perhaps he was less excited about the class thing or having to ::call globals.

Sorry, I edited the last list entry to "everything Coffeescript has" was "syntax for lambdas" before. He is correct, all the features CoffeeScript has are pretty much essential and are in fact in this language, so I edited it to reflect that.
