Why catch the error? An error of compilation in CoffeeScript is just as bad as an error in compilation of Scala or Java. At the very least we should issue a warning to the developer that something is breaking. Debugging JS is bad enough in the browser. If we can catch errors before viewing the pages using the script in the browser it would make development so much more enjoyable and playful.
