It looks fine if you use named functions or a little whitespace
around the literals (same as D!).
I had been a stupidly staunch defender of braces/semicolons before I
actually tried the languages with significant indentation. Since then, I
find C-like syntaxes not so attractive, to say the least. It takes a
while to fall out of the bad habit typing all that punctuation but the
result is rewarding.
Comparing CoffeeScript and the equivalent JavaScript code at
http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/, it is obvious that
JavaScript is unnecessarily noisy.
