I developped a little layout library ( work in progress ) which is a port of a flash lib. and frankly coffeescript made it really easy and made me wrote far less code that pure javascript.

One can write readable code with Coffeescript , i use parenthesis in big scripts because it is more readable , and i dont use classes where not appropriate.

CS helped me write better javascript without the badparts so i dont need to be a human compilator and fix javascript each time i write it. I should not have to.

It is not for everyone , but significant white spaces are not a problem if one is used to indent his code properly. I tried typescript too , which is good, but i found coffeescript more expressive. The truth is , i enjoy writing CS , i dont writing JS.
