CoffeeScript-like language written in Python


Are there any languages targeting JavaScript (like CoffeeScript) and written in Python? I found Pyjamas , but it’s GWT of Python as I see. I want a language that doesn’t need heavy runtime library and is able to be compiled to JavaScript. I found Mascara also, and it very satisfies my requirements except it’s license. CoffeeScript is ideal for me except it’s written in CoffeeScript itself. I have to compile [CoffeeScript-like language] source codes into JavaScript statically in Python application.

Coffeescript/Javascript Mixins - Idiot Seeking Explanation


I preface this by saying my Javascript experience is very weak. Lots of jQuery, very little real comprehension. I have read numerous books on javascript and, while I am not a poor programmer, the prototypal nature of Javascript just does not click with my brain.

What does "Splats” mean in the CoffeeScript tutorial?


Looking at this CoffeeScript tutorial : http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/



I don't quite see what the Splats is for. What is this construction? Where does it come from (historically)

Integrating CoffeeScript with Eclipse?


Is there a way to integrate CoffeeScript and Eclipse, so that when I write CoffeeScript in one window the other will show the compiled code as Javascript?

require()"ing a CoffeeScript file from a JavaScript file or REPL



I'm using Node.js and wanting to incorporate CoffeeScript into my workflow. I have two use-cases:





  1. I want to be able to write JavaScript files which require() CoffeeScript modules



  2. I want to be able to load CoffeeScript modules from within the node REPL







For case #1 I can just compile from .coffee to .js and require() the .js module, as a workaround. For case #2 right now I'm eval()'ing the output of coffee-script.compile().





Is there a better, more unified way to do this?

Using bootstrap-modal as Backbone.js view


I am attempting to create a Backbone.js view based on a Twitter bootstrap-modal, which makes use of Backbone's automatic event delegation via the events attribute of the view.
