If Javascript is so great then why do we need Coffeescript?

Html/js is good for some UI parts of an app but eventually makes one yearn for native threading/locking, queueing, posting notifications, for that last 10-20% of code.

Is this better than Google GWT?

Could one build something with the same graphics and responsiveness like Googles "Speed Tracer" plugin which is way cool?

Its fine. Downloaded the pdf. Its straightforward. Good examples. The topic of graphs is so interesting. Its more fun, as you read, to think about how this can describe real world networks like facebook friends, traffic patterns on a gmap, internet routers, world trade patterns.
