CoffeeScript isn't simpler

gistfile1.md

Although the following examples could use parenthesis, the issue demonstrates how a trivially overlooked ending delimiter further complicated the language. Not only is the intent of the CoffeScript code unclear in these examples but the slight variation in the CoffeScript, produces radically different output. The CoffeeScript differences are so small it would be easy for someone to add accidentally while editing. Anonymous function passing and function calling in Javascript require no additional wrappers or edits, while in CoffeeScript you must add special case clarity for something commonplace in Javascript.

foo ->
  bar 'foo'
, -> 'bar'

compiles into:

foo(function() {
  return bar('foo');
}, function() {
  return 'bar';
});

foo ->
bar 'foo'
, -> 'bar'

compiles into:

foo(function() {});

bar('foo', function() {
  return 'bar';
});

foo -> bar 'foo'
, -> 'bar'

compiles into:

foo(function() {
  return bar('foo', function() {
    return 'bar';
  });
});
