CoffeeScript vs. JavaScript vs. Refraction vs. InsightAppSec 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.

Refraction is a code-generation tool for developers. It uses AI to generate code for you. You can use it to generate unit tests, documentation, refactor code, and more. Generate code using AI in 34 languages — Assembly, C#, C++, CoffeeScript, CSS, Dart, Elixir, Erlang, Go, GraphQL, Groovy, Haskell, HTML, Java, JavaScript, Kotlin, LaTeX, Less, Lua, MatLab, Objective-C, OCaml, Perl, PHP, Python, R Lang, Ruby, Rust, Sass / SCSS, Scala, Shell, SQL, Swift, and TypeScript. Join thousands of developers around the world using Refraction to generate documentation, create unit tests, refactor code, and more using AI. Use the power of AI to automate the tedious parts of software development like testing, documentation, and refactoring, so you can focus on what matters. Refactor, optimize, fix and style-check your code. Generate unit tests for your code with various test frameworks. Explain the purpose of your code to make it easier to understand.
