CoffeeScript is a lightweight programming language that compiles into JavaScript. It adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python, and Haskell to improve brevity and readability, while producing predictable and efficient JavaScript output. Its design emphasizes that “It’s just JavaScript,” meaning any JS library works seamlessly, and compiled output is clean and performant. Adds syntactic sugar like list comprehensions and destructuring assignment. Supports literate programming via .litcoffee or Markdown-embedded files.
