CoffeeScript is a DSL to generate JavaScript. The JavaScript it generates is quite good and readable. In theory it should generate JS that is lint-able by JSLint, safe, and cross-browser compatible. I've used it for a personal project of mine, and the language is quite nice. You don't need to type "function" all the time to create closures and stuff.
The only complaint I have so far is the compilation phase, which I wasn't used to when developing JavaScript applications.
