Maybe rather:

    for i in range(10); if i%3:
        print(i)


One of the awesomer things about Coffeescript is:

    decorator = (f) -> (args...) -> f(args[0])

Which lets you do stuff like:

    recursive = do -> r = (n) ->
        if n > 0 then n*r(n-1) else 1

instead of:

    def recursive_gen():
        def recursive(n):
            return n*recursive(n-1) if n > 0 else 1
        return recursive
    recursive = recursive_gen()

Of course, Coffeescript has its own quirks.
