Current Coffeescript is incompatible withtemplate literals, specificallytagged template literals. As such, direct support for template literals should be considered for coffeescript nextgen.

Specifically, calling a tagged template literal looks this:

var a = 5;var b = 10;function tag(strings, ...values) {  ...  return "Bazinga!";}tag`Hello ${ a + b } world ${ a * b }`;

Coffeescript already uses backticks toembed javascript:

hi = `function() {  return [document.title, "Hello JavaScript"].join(": ");}`

Unless I've missed a trick, it's currently impossible to use a tagged template literal in Coffeescript by embedding the relevant ES6 javascript.

FYI, I ran into this problem when exploring the newishbel DOM templating library. Since it uses tagged template strings, I believe it's inoperable with current Coffeescript. This is the first time I've seen incompatibility between Coffeescript and Javascript..
