Languages that compile to JavaScript
Feb. 12th, 2019 12:35 amI know of three languages that compile to JavaScript: CoffeeScript, which brings in Python idioms; TypeScript, which brings in static typing; and Elm, which is purely functional and looks sort of like Haskell.
JS itself, of course, is JS with Ruby idioms.
These are the four genders.
(I had the vague sense that, even though Ruby and Python are conventionally considered to be very similar, they encourage different patterns of thought. It looks like the ecosystem backs that up. But I could be completely wrong about CoffeeScript -- I still haven't looked into it much.)
