CoffeeScript

By Adi Baron

Abstract: JavaScript is a powerful language that combines Object-Oriented and Functional Programming. A new wave of languages that compile into JavaScript emphasize the power of this combination by suggesting better syntax. The first part of the talk will be an overview of OOP & FP with JavaScript and CoffeeScript, while in the second part we'll create a new language from scratch, writing our own grammar rules, lexer tokens, syntax tree, etc.
