Coffeescript is pretty damn ugly. For god sakes can people please use parenthesis when calling functions with arguments?

[Guillaume86]

I do it in my coffeescript for function calls. You just need some guidelines and some discipline.

Why add unnecessary clutter?

[batiste]

It is not unnecessary, it helps the reader building a mental model about what is a function and what is not. I would concede It can be useful to create some DSL or to access an object lazily but the is a price to pay: a more opaque code base

[Gurkenmaster]

Lisp programmers would love to disagree

[Guthur]

Parenthesis are not unnecessary in Lisp they're an essential delimiter in defining an s-expression's structure (does not need to be parenthesis but some token is required).

But for me that one bit of syntax is a lot less that the multitude required for many languages.

For something even more syntactically minimal there is Forth.
