True, CoffeeScript is heavily influenced by Python! I do think it usually causes more pain than its worth to add something like that in though.

According to wikipedia: "CoffeeScript is a programming language that transcompiles to JavaScript. It adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python and Haskell in an effort to enhance JavaScript's brevity and readability."

The indentation is definitely Pythonic.
