CoffeeScript is a programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python, and Haskell in an effort to enhance JavaScript's brevity and readability.[4] Specific additional features include list comprehension and destructuring assignment.

CoffeeScript support is included in Ruby on Rails version 3.1[5] and Play Framework.[6] In 2011, Brendan Eich referenced CoffeeScript as an influence on his thoughts about the future of JavaScript.[7][8]
