Adobe's acquisition of Day:
"...Day's R&D team are strong contributors to the open source world, with a development model based on building true open source communities around key technology advancements that originate in Day R&D through the sponsorship of new projects via the Apache Software Foundation..."
"...Given that leading role there, news that Adobe is acquiring Day takes on an added significance..."
"...Adobe's acquisition of so much free software coding talent offers hope that some open source savvy will percolate through the company, turning Adobe into as much of an ally as Day was. However, the lack of any comment about continuing to support open source projects and the people who work on them at Day is worrying. If it does intend to allow its new staff to carry on as before, Adobe would be well-advised to make some public commitments to that effect..."

Jeremy Ashkenas'
underscore.coffee
vs his
underscore.js
(the tie to go along with jQuery's tux)
From
Michael Hunger's look at CoffeeScript on InfoQ:
Python style significant whitespace
implicit parentheses
no semicolons
String continuations
concise function literals
YAML style object literals
everything is an
expression
(returns a value)
all variables in local lexical scope, no pollution of global scope
simple assignment and variable declarations, destructuring assignments
switch
statements compiled to if-then-else
chains
chain comparisons
named parameters
variable arguments lists (splats)
literate programming (write the code within its documentation)
pythons range, array and object comprehensions
existential
(elvis) operator
explicit
strong binding of current self to function
with
=>
Hashrocket operator
fast and working
class based inheritance support
,
based on the google.inherit approach
support for static inheritance and automatic delegation to superclass methods
heredocs, multiline strings, literal regexps,
string interpolation/substitution
Cake
a simple build system similar to Rake
<script type="text/coffeescript"> tags, minified coffescript
compiler for inline use
