Ah okay, that's a pretty interesting review. I was at an AirBnB Tech Talk and Isaac Schluetter (Head maintainer of Node.js) and he discussed his feelings on it. I've used it a few times and it's been fine, but I never felt compelled to learn it.

There's nothing of substance in his response. When asked what's worse or more ambiguous about CoffeeScript, his answers are:

1) That people who don't know CoffeeScript have to use CoffeeScript when they encounter CoffeeScript.

2) He thinks require might have been implemented differently, though he thinks that maybe that might have been changed, but "I don't really use it so I don't really know."
