A cool coding language that compiles into JavaScript

CoffeeScript is actually the name of a coding language that tries to expose the “gorgeous heart” of the JavaScript language. The tool that the website offers will allow you to create your CoffeeScript coding and then compile it into JavaScript. It is a new and easy way of programming JavaScript, allowing the tool to write the JavaScript for you. The tool will compile the CoffeeScript language into JavaScript that runs in every JavaScript runtime. It is a little like a content management system, but where you use it for JavaScript coding rather than for creating your own websites. When you write JavaScript code, there are numerous ways to create the same end result. This tool and this coding language allow you to give it instructions, and then it picks the method by which you reach your end goal.
