I see you believe in README-driven development. So do I. You have a very nice README.

I don't think you're getting much mileage out of having JavaScript examples in the README. People who are turned off by CoffeeScript aren't likely to be won over simply by having JavaScript examples. Also people who have been using CoffeeScript extensively are going to take a few short moments to adapt to the JavaScript. Some will take a while (but not as long) to adapt just because there are two different languages. As I skimmed it I wondered why there were so many parens after I read CoffeeScript and then hit a JavaScript example.

If you modify the README to be entirely CoffeeScript (with a prominent link for the curious to familiarize themselves with CoffeeScript) I think it will be easier for the people who are interested to get up to speed.
