1. 5 Minutes about my recent dive into
CoffeeScript

2. Javascript is a
powerful, lambda-
based language
trapped in a
misleading C syntax
and made difficult by
design flaws.

3. JSLint compliant, well-mannered
Javascript is a bit unnatural
==
void
var
var foo = function foo( ) {};
undefined, null, falsy
new Boolean(false)
Switch fall through on string only
Loose typing / objects
Global variables
Unintended shadowing

(examples)

5. Simpler, cleaner JS
Python, Ruby, yaml
inspired functional
OO language that
compiles to the good
parts of JS.
Available as a Node.JS
utility.
