So recently a plethora of new languages appeared, which are *transpiled* (converted) to JavaScript before they run in the browser.

Examples of such languages:
- [CoffeeScript](http://coffeescript.org/) is a "syntactic sugar" for JavaScript, it introduces shorter syntax, allowing to write more precise and clear code. Usually Ruby devs like it.
