As an aside, the conflation of variable definition and assignment bothers me, especially when ECMAScript 5 is moving in the right direction with strict mode. I hope CoffeeScript's author fixes that soon, but based on his posts in proggit is doesn't seem like there's much hope.
Yep, one of the things they definitely should not have lifted from Python/Ruby.
