The main problem with CoffeeScript is that you're still talking about the exactly same type system and mostly the same problems, minus some superficial fixes and plus some syntactic sugar.

I prefer more heavy-weight approaches that use Javascript as a compilation target. Clojure and Scala can both compile to Javascript, but you're talking about different communities, libraries and tools, so very much like Dart, but focused on targeting just Javascript VMs.
