I dont get the joke. But what I really dont get is the "[..] JavaScript community would like to know[..]" part. Are we different communities now?
Why would one even care? It is like coding style. Use one or the other, just use the same on your team!

I love mikeal's work and contributions to the node.js community — but I didn't care for this bit of satire. Some folks legitimately enjoy the experience of programming in CoffeeScript. I don't happen to be one of them. But I'm also not one to pass judgement on other programmers' choice of tools.
(EDIT: Although I do pass judgement silently.)

Some people have been legitimately stuck using CoffeeScript because of rails or an employer or a client. These are among the people who will enjoy a lighthearted rant about CoffeeScript.
While an employer or client might, RoR doesn't force you to use CoffeeScript.
When did everyones sense of humour suddenly die? I literally can't get enough of CoffeeScript however I still think this is pretty funny, so the rest of you should be able to get over yourselves and laugh.
This was indeed pretty funny :)
I prefer CoffeeScript over JavaScript, but I can definitely understand people who don’t.

In my opinion, if you are still writing straight javascript you are stealing from your client/company.
