It’s hard to imagine a new web application today that doesn’t make heavy use of JavaScript, but if you’re used to something like Ruby and Python, it feels like a significant step down to deal with JavaScript, more of a chore than a joy. Enter CoffeeScript: a pre-compiler that removes all the unnecessary verbosity of JavaScript and simply makes it a pleasure to write and read.

For me personally, working with and learning CoffeeScript has been an absolute joy. It has made me a better JavaScripter by giving a much deeper overall understanding of JavaScript. While it is not a replacement for JavaScript(you still need to know your JavaScript), it definitely enables accelerated JavaScript development. Go, go, coffee! CoffeeScript rocks, CoffeeScript is awesome.

Happy Coding!
