CoffeeScript 1.0 was released today, one year after the first release.
http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/
For those who don't know CoffeeScript, it's a language made out of the good
part of Javascript that compiles directly into javascript (everything
compiles one-to-one to the equivalent javascript you would write) but with a
much better syntax. Click the above link and see the examples.
There's two ways to compile CoffeeScript to javascript: either through the
command line option that relies on node.js or using the core compiler
entirely written in javascript in a browser or somewhere else that can
execute javascript.
It's been pretty popular for a while but now that it reached 1.0 and
is committed to backward compatibility, I'd love to see some CoffeeScript
goodness in qooxdoo.
I'd love if I could simply write .coffee files and they would be transformed
into javascript by the toolchain. Being able to do the source version in
coffeescript and have it translated on the fly in the browser would be great
too.
The qooxdoo team always said that the toolchain was an asset and not a
liability and this would be yet another opportunity to prove it.
