I have a lot of code exactly like this. AFAIK this is the only way to specify arguments after a function argument, unless you define the function separately and then put all arguments on one line...

The alternative (and I do this, even though I'm only targetting coffee1), is to surround the function with parens:

setInterval (->
  console.log new Date()
), 1000

that just looks so weird and odd. the lonesome comma looks only slightly less weird though
