Incorrect question. If it is not clear to your why it is incorrect, there is nothing to talk about.

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

CoffeeScript code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JavaScript, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly from CoffeeScript (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed, passes through JavaScript Lint without warnings, will work in every JavaScript implementation, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript.

Nice basic tutorial is available at http://adamjspooner.github.com/coffeescript-meet-backbonejs/[^]

Please see:

The question of "usefulness" makes no sense at all. You first need to understand what do you want to do.
