I think it's neat that people can create languages that compile to JavaScript so they can work in an environment that's more their style, but it really irks me when they try to say those languages ARE JavaScript.

This isn't a debate as to whether or not CoffeeScript is better, easier, cleaner, etc. It's a simple A does not equal B statement, and it's starting to remind me of the way my boss says I'm "good at Java".
