    #or parallel assignment...
    $.when(args[0].singleton().deferred, args[1].singleton().deferred).done ->
      _.each args, (item) ->
        if item.singleton then item.singleton()

Cool. Definitely much cleaner. The only remaining critique I could give is the use of args[0] and args[1] directly. You could do this and achieve a bit more clarity: https://gist.github.com/2407480

Also, here's the compiled output of the [one, two, rest...] = arguments: http://coffeescript.org/#try:thing%20%3D%20(%20-%3E%20%5Bthing%2C%20other%2C%20last...%5D%20%3D%20arguments%20)%0A%0A
