It's a language that cleans up Javascript to look more like Ruby. Anyone here used it?

because you should use it. It just converts the pretty language into old javascript, makes it a bit harder to debug because you have to debug the generated javascript. But lots of people deal with it, cleaned up syntax can save lots of time.
- Makes it harder for newbies, any errors bear no relation to CS source, avoid.comicsans

oh funny, is there a font called javascript?

I like the idea of it but in my head I'd still be writing JS, then having to covert it to CS before writing it down.
Probably be more effort than it's worth

Hmm in my head I write CoffeeScript, even before I knew about it. JavaScript's ugly syntax with this and prototype all over the place is annoying. I can write it, but reading it is a chore.
Debugging is a problem with it though, they're not prioritizing a line by line debugging extension for Firebug or Webkit. Looked through the issues on github, they say it would take a lot of work.
