CoffeeScript vs Ada: What are the differences?

Developers describe CoffeeScript as "A little language that compiles into JavaScript". It adds syntactic sugar inspired by Ruby, Python and Haskell in an effort to enhance JavaScript's brevity and readability. Specific additional features include list comprehension and de-structuring assignment. On the other hand, Ada is detailed as "A structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level programming language". It is a structured, statically typed, imperative, and object-oriented high-level programming language, extended from Pascal and other languages. It has built-in language support for design by contract (DbC), extremely strong typing, explicit concurrency, tasks, synchronous message passing, protected objects, and non-determinism. Ada improves code safety and maintainability by using the compiler to find errors in favor of runtime errors.

CoffeeScript and Ada can be primarily classified as "Languages" tools.

Some of the features offered by CoffeeScript are:

  • String Interpolation
  • Statement Modifiers
  • Callback Handling

On the other hand, Ada provides the following key features:

  • Structured
  • Statically typed
  • Imperative

CoffeeScript is an open source tool with 15.5K GitHub stars and 2.01K GitHub forks. Here's a link to CoffeeScript's open source repository on GitHub.

          What are some alternatives to Ada and CoffeeScript?
          Rust
          Rust is a systems programming language that combines strong compile-time correctness guarantees with fast performance. It improves upon the ideas of other systems languages like C++ by providing guaranteed memory safety (no crashes, no data races) and complete control over the lifecycle of memory.
          JavaScript
          JavaScript is most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic,and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.
          Python
          Python is a general purpose programming language created by Guido Van Rossum. Python is most praised for its elegant syntax and readable code, if you are just beginning your programming career python suits you best.
          Node.js
          Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
          HTML5
          HTML5 is a core technology markup language of the Internet used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web. As of October 2014 this is the final and complete fifth revision of the HTML standard of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The previous version, HTML 4, was standardised in 1997.
