it's a big fat "meh" for a lot of people, if you look at the coffeescript source even it looks like complete ass with the exception of the parser, which looks pretty nice and declarative. Some things are certainly nice to have, but those are neither unique nor necessary. The best thing to come out of coffeescript is the glaring "dont use me, I dont understand JavaScript" it places on libraries written with it, I like that.
