I’d like to offer a word of caution about CoffeeScript and other related 
intermediary languages: this isn’t the best way to learn JavaScript. I highly 
recommend that anyone who wants to learn more, become more proficient, or take 
their coding to the next level avoid solutions like this. The only way to 
improve in JavaScript is to use the language consistently. 

Becoming better at CoffeeScript means that you’re learning more about 
CoffeeScript, which may not be a bad thing, but it doesn’t translate directly 
into being better at JavaScript. The same can be said for solutions like GWT.

Of course, if your goal is to become really good at CoffeeScript, then please 
disregard. 

-Nicholas
