Of course, it does provides a technique for inserting haskell values into javascript, and having javascript in haskell code. I think it would be better to add these features to the more widely used coffee script using that part of JMacro and/or Yesod's similar template tools.

The other option of course is to compile haskell into javascript using ghc [1] or llvm [2], but these solutions are still immature. The great thing about coffee-script is that the language was designed as a super-set and almost everything compiles down to very readable (easy to debug) javascript, something that is harder to do when compiling an entirely different language.
