I wouldn't compare it to Java and I wouldn't say its verbose either, its expressiveness is close to D . It is a full dynamic language with all the benefit and safety of static typing through type inference. You can use it object oriented or functional. It has a fantastic remoting framework with type checking at compile time! cross platform - no other language has this to offer. CoffeeScript is just a JavaScript alternative without a real benefit. HaXe is a complete framework.
