About

CoffeeScript is a Ruby- and Python-inspired programming language that compiles to JavaScript.

JavaScript is an interpreted programming language and a core technology of the web, alongside HTML and CSS, used to add interactivity and logic to websites and web applications.

It runs in all major browsers, supports event-driven and asynchronous programming, and serves as the foundation of software platforms such as Node.js and Deno, as well as many cross-platform application frameworks.
