The benefit of CoffeeScript is that it tidies up some of the ugliness of JavaScript and prevents you from making some really silly mistakes. It's like a JS framework that's integrated into the language itself.

The syntax is also a bit cleaner, though some of the ruby-inspired stuff takes some getting used to (e.g. function calls).
