CoffeeScript vs. JavaScript vs. MRTK-Unity vs. Roy Comparison Chart

Underneath that awkward Java-esque patina, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way. The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: “It’s just JavaScript.” The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly from CoffeeScript (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable, pretty printed, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript. Most modern JavaScript features that CoffeeScript supports can run natively in Node 7.6+, meaning that Node can run CoffeeScript’s output without any further processing required. This list may be incomplete, and excludes versions of Node that support newer features behind flags; please refer to node.green for full details. You can run the tests in your browser to see what your browser supports.

MRTK-Unity is a Microsoft-driven project that provides a set of components and features, used to accelerate cross-platform MR app development in Unity. Provides the cross-platform input system and building blocks for spatial interactions and UI. Enables rapid prototyping via in-editor simulation that allows you to see changes immediately. Operates as an extensible framework that provides developers the ability to swap out core components. A button control that supports various input methods, including HoloLens 2's articulated hand. Standard UI for manipulating objects in 3D space. Script for manipulating objects with one or two hands. 2D style plane which supports scrolling with articulated hand input. A script for making objects interactable with visual states and theme support. Various object positioning behaviors such as tag-along, body-lock, constant view size, and surface magnetism. Script for laying out an array of objects in a three-dimensional shape.
