I would not be surprised if spinning up on CoffeeScript was easier for beginners without real JavaScript experience.

It was much easier to get started to CoffeeScript for me, and learning it made me much more comfortable with writing JavaScript directly straight after.

That's just an implementation detail. CoffeeScript has syntax and semantics every bit as valid as JS's.

True story. JavaScript seems like a mix of C and Scheme CoffeeScript seems like a mix of Ruby and Python
