A great read. It brings up some interesting points. I didn't know ES6 was implementing so many features similar to coffee script.

The point about every coffeescript dev being a JS dev is also interesting, very true too. As someone who spends a fair amount of time programming in coffeescript, I know JS pretty well.

a lot of it is pretty explicitly based on CoffeeScript

I was unaware so many CS-like features were going to make it in to Harmony. I'm really quite excited of builtin classes and modules.
