CoffeeScript is a programming language whose programs are transcompiled into JavaScript . It has been developed by Jeremy Ashkenas since 2009.
Origin and use
Based on Ruby , Python and Haskell , CoffeeScript uses syntactic sugar to improve JavaScript's readability and conciseness. CoffeeScript also provides additional functionality, such as B. Array summarization and pattern matching . CoffeeScript translates predictably into JavaScript, programs can be written more compactly (typically 30% fewer program lines) without affecting runtime performance.
CoffeeScript is also the official JavaScript preprocessor for Ruby on Rails .
Due to the visually simplified syntax, the language is particularly popular with programming beginners or designer frameworks such as B. Framer.js insert.
Code example
The following source text outputs "Hello World".
alert "Hallo Welt"
Transcompiled to JavaScript.
alert("Hallo Welt");
Compilation
The CoffeeScript compiler from version 0.5 is written in CoffeeScript itself and is available for Node.js. However, the compiler is not dependent on Node and can be executed in almost any JavaScript environment.
