Thank you for your feedback. I have submitted your request to the Intel XDK engineering team.

Had the same question (and surprised that CoffeeScript isn't wildly more popular for these new IoT devices !?)

Using CoffeeScript for app sources (Using Intel XDK my target is Edison) is as easy as

First install CoffeeScript (globally if you wish)

root@edison:~# npm install --global coffee-script

Your main.js

require('coffee-script/register')
module.exports=require('./start')

Your CoffeeScript source (start.coffee) having initial entry routine

utils = require 'util'
utils.log "Hello Macchiato !\n\n#{utils.inspect process.mainModule}"
