This looks nothing like coffeescript. Coffeescript is a perl syntax language which cross compiles to javascript, and has no common basis with JS other than fundamentals of programming. TypeScript is a superset of Javascript, uses identical syntax, and is loosely based on ECMA Harmony-- the future of Javascript standards. The only thing in common with coffeescript is that it's installed via node and cross compiles.
I see the humor you're trying to play here, but things like this are actually kind of rare-- microsoft offering a contribution to the open source community with zero gain to their own systems, and respecting established standards. To imply that they're ripping off CoffeeScript is irresponsible, and downplays the significance behind their work. I for one will be looking for ways that I can contribute to this project as it mitigates nearly every concern I had WITH coffeescript.
