CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JavaScript, and there is no interpretation at runtime.
|
|
As one of the successors to JavaScript, CoffeeScript tries its best to output readable, pretty-printed and smooth-running JavaScript code, which works well in every JavaScript runtime.
|
|
|
|
See also [the CoffeeScript website](http://coffeescript.org/), which has a complete tutorial on CoffeeScript.

```coffeescript
|
|
# CoffeeScript is a hipster language.
|
|
# It goes with the trends of many modern languages.
|
|
# So comments are like Ruby and Python, they use number symbols.
|
|
|
|
###
|
|
Block comments are like these, and they translate directly to '/ *'s and '* /'s
|
|
for the resulting JavaScript code.
|
|
|
|
You should understand most of JavaScript semantics
|
|
before continuing.
