If I were going to do this, I’d probably go all the way to using ReScript, but it’s a nice idea.
I’m quite surprised it’s not called ToffeeScript though.

Wasn't super popular, but wasn't unknown either.
'Civet' certainly implies your code is being processed, but I'm not sure the connotation is desirable.
And all IMHO of course, but significant-whitespace is the worst idea ever.
Hear hear! I never heard a single argument for significant invisible characters that makes sense, ever.
Who would want to have a program that fails because you used invisible character X instead of invisible character Y?
You'd think not, and yet ...
Simple copy/paste is enough to break significant-whitespace, let alone space-vs-tabs, etc, etc.
But again, all IMHO, I realise it has it's fans.
This might be a good stepping stone though to sway skeptics.
