1. I quite like "%" - it nicely marks tags as what they are (and its at the start of the line, not the end). Then there's '.', '-' and '=', which have different semantics so you always know what you're looking at. Its much worse at the end of the line, and 2 chars is unpleasant :)
3. I guess its a part of coffee I steer clear of (and a part of ruby I avoid). Once you have 2 or 3 names in a row, its awkward to decode the function call ordering, so I just avoid it.
Actually, I think that that's what I don't like about this. In haml, its a declarative syntax, and that's very restrictive (in a good way). In coffeekup, its pure coffeescript, which means you have imperative semantics that can do anything, and so need to be decoded. But maybe its not a problem in real-life, but if that example is indicative, I'm happy where I am.
