If it takes that much effort to gin up example code I think the point has been made.

You're joking, right? If not, then you're trying to generalize one line of shitty code and one mistake of a tired programmer to the whole language - and I don't believe you'd want to do that!
Clever or hard to read code is just that. I don't use CoffeeScript but I wouldn't use this example to be mean about it. At the end of the day, it is an acquired taste. My only concern is I don't have the time to invest to make a decision on it and I would suspect others are in the same boat. So, by default we choose a tentative no.
