1) you don't need the var keyword.  all variables will be protected from the global scope.
2) functions automatically return the last line, called an "explicit return"
3) functions are the funkiest looking but really simple. they look like this:

(obj) -> "this is my #{obj}"

instead of:

function(obj) {
  return "this is my " + obj);
};

4) you don't need to bind things.  you can just declare a function with a fat arrow and it will maintain what "this" is.
5) whitespace is significant.  you can declare an object like this

  events:
    "something" : "yeah"
    "here"      " "there"
