CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript.
|
||
|
|
Underneath all those awkward braces and semicolons, JavaScript has
|
||
|
|
always had a gorgeous object model at its heart. CoffeeScript is an
|
||
|
|
attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: "It's just JavaScript". The code
|
||
|
|
compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no
|
||
|
|
interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library
|
||
|
|
seamlessly from CoffeeScript (and vice-versa). The compiled output is
|
||
|
|
readable and pretty-printed, passes through JavaScript Lint without
|
||
|
|
warnings, will work in every JavaScript implementation, and tends to run
|
||
|
|
as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript.
