No, that would get all the CoffeeScripters attention. I believe it is slated though.
I much prefer raw javascript + macros. In my opinion it kind of negates some of point of coffeescript since you can implement the few key syntax improvements.
Yeah, that's a good point, but if you got all the CoffeeScripters' attention and then showed them that CoffeeScript is just one possible improved syntax...
I was speaking to one of the Sweet.js developers about this, and apparently the only obstacle is that Sweet.js doesn't have the ability to make whitespace significant. Other than that, it should be entirely possible.

Feature, not a bug? But yeah, I guess that would be an impediment to implementing CoffeeScript. I'd like to see some of the CoffeeScript syntax implemented but without whitespace dependency (so it would have to be a modified version of the syntax).
