-Hello there, Ruby friend. You've perhaps heard of
-[CoffeeScript](https://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/),
-"JavaScript's less ostentatious kid brother," but it might *as yet* be
-unclear why you'd want to stray from Ruby's loving embrace. Well,
-friend, I've been playing with it off-and-on for the past few months,
-and I've come to the following conclusion: **CoffeeScript combines the
-simplicity of Javascript with the elegance of Ruby.**
-
-## Syntax
-
-Despite its compactness as a language, Javascript has always felt a bit
-noisy to me. Its excessive punctuation is pretty much the only thing it
-has in common with its namesake. CoffeeScript borrows from the syntaxes
-of Ruby and Python to create a sort of minimalist Javascript. From
-Python, we get significant whitespace and list comprehensions.
-
-Otherwise, it's all Ruby: semicolons and parentheses around function
-arguments are entirely optional. Like Ruby's `||=`, conditional
-assignment is handled with `?=`. Conditionals can be inlined
-(`something if something_else`). And every statement has an implicit
-value, so `return` is unnecessary.
-
-## Functions
-
-Both Javascript and Ruby support functional programming. Ruby offers
-numerous language features to make functional programming as concise as
-possible, the drawback being the sheer number of ways to define a
-function: at least six, by my count (`def`, `do/end`, `{ }`, `lambda`,
-`Proc.new`, `proc`).
-
-At the other extreme, Javascript offers but one way to define a
-function: the `function` keyword. It's certainly simple, but especially
-in callback-oriented code, you wind up writing `function` one hell of a
-lot. CoffeeScript gives us the `->` operator, combining the brevity of
-Ruby with the simplicity of Javascript:
-
-```coffeescript
-thrice: (f) ->
- f()
- f()
- f()
-
-thrice -> puts "OHAI"
-```
-
-Which translates to:
-
-```javascript
-(function(){
- var thrice;
-
- thrice = function(f) {
- f();
- f();
- return f();
- };
-
- thrice(function() { return puts("OHAI"); });
-})();
-```
-
-I'll tell you what that is: MONEY. Money in the BANK.
-
-## It's Node
-
-Though not dependent upon it, CoffeeScript is built to run on top of
-[Node.js](http://nodejs.org/). This means you can take advantage of all
-the incredible work people are doing with Node, including the
-[Express](http://expressjs.com/) web framework, the [Redis Node
-Client](https://github.com/fictorial/redis-node-client), and
-[Connect](https://github.com/senchalabs/connect), a middleware framework
-along the lines of [Rack](http://rack.rubyforge.org/). What's more, its
-integration with Node allows you to run CoffeeScript programs from the
-command line just like you would Ruby code.
-
-CoffeeScript is an exciting technology, as both a standalone language
-and as a piece of a larger Node.js toolkit. Take a look at
-[Defer](http://gfxmonk.net/2010/07/04/defer-taming-asynchronous-javascript-with-coffeescript.html)
-to see what the language might soon be capable of, and if you're
-participating in this year's [Node.js
-Knockout](http://nodeknockout.com/), watch out for the
-[Rocketpants](http://nodeknockout.com/teams/2eb41a4c31f50c044a280000).
