I hide JavaScript behind CoffeeScript, makes it a bit more usable.

I've looked at CoffeeScript, but the implicit declarations and indent-syntax
are deal-breakers for me. Besides, for the most part, the syntax isn't one
of my bigger issues with JS. It's more the semantics, type system,
implementation issues, and DHTML abuse.
I really like the syntax, specially since Ruby is my favorite language
next to D, they both have a similar syntax (CS and Ruby). I really like
that it adds a class based object model, the prototype based object
model is just weird. Now all JS libraries have their own way of
declaring classes, it seems like everyone actually wants a class based
object model.
But the problem remains, CoffeeScript compiles to JavaScript so you are
still limited by JS.
