Package: libjs-coffeescript (2.7.0+dfsg1-2)

[ Source: coffeescript  ]

client-side interpreter for the CoffeeScript language

CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath all of those embarrassing 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 (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.

This package contains a concatenated and compressed version of the CoffeeScript compiler. To use it in the browser, include the script after any inline script tags of type "text/coffeescript" on the page. It will compile and evaluate all of the scripts in order.
