CoffeeScript is famous for smoothing out JavaScript's rough edges, but
it has other advantages worth exploring. In this article, Andrew Glover
shows you how CoffeeScript's cleaner syntax makes it easer to leverage
functional constructs in JavaScript libraries, especially for
server-side programming in Node.js. He concludes with a series of short
demonstrations in using Underscore.js, a utility library for JavaScript,
to handle collections in CoffeeScript and Node.
CoffeeScript is a relatively new language that presents an appealing alternative for developers weary of JavaScript's deficiencies. With CoffeeScript, developers can do their coding in a lightweight, intuitive language that feels like a hybrid of Ruby and Python. CoffeeScript then compiles to JavaScript for browser-compatible Web applications, and it also works seamlessly with Node.js for server-side applications. Central to this article is a third benefit of using CoffeeScript, which is its handling of the functional side of JavaScript. CoffeeScript's cleaned up, modernized syntax opens up the world of functional programming latent in JavaScript libraries. more...
