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 succeeders of JavaScript, CoffeeScript tries its best to output readable, pretty-printed and smooth-running JavaScript codes working well in every JavaScript runtime.
See also the CoffeeScript website, which has a complete tutorial on 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.

# Assignment:
number = 42 #=> var number = 42;
opposite = true #=> var opposite = true;
# Conditions:
number = -42 if opposite #=> if(opposite) { number = -42; }
# Functions:
square = (x) -> x * x #=> var square = function(x) { return x * x; }
fill = (container, liquid = "coffee") ->
"Filling the #{container} with #{liquid}..."
#=>var fill;
#
#fill = function(container, liquid) {
# if (liquid == null) {
# liquid = "coffee";
# }
# return "Filling the " + container + " with " + liquid + "...";
#};
# Ranges:
list = [1..5] #=> var list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
# Objects:
math =
root: Math.sqrt
square: square
cube: (x) -> x * square x
#=> var math = {
# "root": Math.sqrt,
# "square": square,
# "cube": function(x) { return x * square(x); }
#}
# Splats:
race = (winner, runners...) ->
print winner, runners
#=>race = function() {
# var runners, winner;
# winner = arguments[0], runners = 2 <= arguments.length ? __slice.call(arguments, 1) : [];

# Existence:
alert "I knew it!" if elvis?
#=> if(typeof elvis !== "undefined" && elvis !== null) { alert("I knew it!"); }
# Array comprehensions:

eat food for food in foods when food isnt 'chocolate'
