Also check out LiveScript.

and its awesome FP library inspired by haskell's prelude.hs

I have done all forms of projects using LiveScript - robotics, simple websites, blog, cryptography, computer vision.

Its actually becoming silently fairly mature.

It helps when it doesn't generate any hype like most languages.

The community around is also very helpful !

And LiveScript is awesome with React.js or any other virtual DOM based MVC framework.




Why did they name it that?

LiveScript was Netscape's original name for JavaScript, before Sun asked them to throw in some Java branding.
