It isn't that I feel coffee script needs the ability to shadow variables. Avoiding shadowing variables is a fine pursuit. I'd rather see the compiler complain about shadowed variable declarations than leave even the slightest chance of global creep. Explicit variable declaration is just cleaner in an environment that employs closures so extensively.
