I am using an even more minimal subset of CoffeeScript 2, basically classless, and love it. I can't find a sane reason to hand-write ESxx.
I complement it with Rust as needed, which is the only language that justifies having a verbose syntax.
Those two couldn't be farther apart, but their combination covers an extremely wide spectrum of programming tasks. From prototyping, to incrementally improving the robustness and performance as needed.
jashkenas did a great job, and CS2 is a very elegant and ongoing effort.
