Ask HN: Shouldn't 4 spaces be the standard instead of 2 in Coffeescript?

Wouldn't it make more sense to have 4 spaces as the standard since the most popular significant whitespace language, Python, uses 4 spaces? Four spaces just makes the code easier to read when whitespace matters. I know there are people that use 4 spaces in Coffeescript but most code I look over is 2 spaces. Just curious what everyone else thinks.
