I don't disagree. Although, I think CoffeeScript is more similar to JRuby than FastRuby.

In what possible way is CoffeeScript more similar to JRuby than FastRuby???

JRuby is an actual compiler to JVM bytecode. FastRuby is translating to Java. If anything, FastRuby is the SAME THING as CoffeeScript.
