CoffeeScript is nothing more than a compact and terse programming language to generate JavaScript. Think of it as HAML for JavaScript. When you use CoffeeScript, it gets compiled into JavaScript before it is served to the browser. It's not a framework, although there are some goodies to make certain constructions less painful to write, in the end, those painful constructions are generated in full (I'm looking at you, for loops).
In contrast, Prototype extends the JavaScript language to give it those terse methods that we love, and under the hood, actually writes a whole shed-load of compatibility shims so we don't have to write such defensive code, even when faced with the beast that is IE. There is nothing like that in CoffeeScript. Walter On Nov 28, 2011, at 3:41 PM, Pablo Aravena wrote: > Is an object oriented language, and you can combine it with a selector engine > like jquery.
