Coffeescript in particular makes me feel like Javascript has a Bizarro-world cousin of Ruby hiding under all the C-style syntax.

I recently realized that between FogBugz (which my company uses for bugs, to-do items, and wiki) and Kiln (which my company is now using for Source Control/Code Reviews), the Fog Creek products are emerging as a Bizarro-world version of Microsoft's TFS.

Yes I believe we are living in Bizarro-world.
