CoffeeScript, a Little Language with a Pure Ruby Compiler

by jashkenas —

CoffeeScript is a little language with a Ruby-esque syntax that compiles into the good parts of JavaScript. The compiler uses vanilla Ruby classes for the lexer and code generation, and Racc for the parser. If you’ve ever wanted to use Ruby to experiment with a little language, it’s a good example to take a peek at.

Awesome! Integration with popular javascript framework and unit test is what remains to be done to CoffeeScript. The language has been designed very well and cleverly, well done.
