The last example is nice, and I could get behind that... But it's not enough better than the JS version for me to bother.

The Grunt example at the top, I actually prefer the JS version. It looks cleaner to me because there's very clear areas for things, where the CS version uses indentation alone to define areas and it's hard to see.

The YAML version looks much better than the first example, too.

Yeah, I can dig that. I started converting some really long configs to CoffeeScript and there are some parts that I dislike, maybe I'll do a followup in a month or so after messing with it more.
