在Javascript中嵌入coffeescript…？

Question

Within the current codebase of javascript code, I would like to be able to incrementally replace functions/blocks using cleaner and compact coffeescript, and add new code using coffeescript.

1. Is it a good practice? (In fact, shouldn't this be a default approach?)
2. I need a utility to convert javascript with embedded coffeescript into javascript, and well integrated into node.js environment?

Answer 1

Javascript到Coffee-script双向转换器

Answer 2

I am not exactly sure what you mean by "javascript with embedded coffeescript", but nonetheless, here is my advice:

1) Use Grunt to compile your coffeescript into javascript whenever you save a file ( and also have Grunt do other sutff for you )

2) Do all new development in coffeescript. Once you go coffeescript, you never want to go back. It's just better, and there really is no downside.

Answer 3

If the objective is to use some language that is concise and to incrementally update your existing Javascript code to that language than Microsoft's TypeScript might be a better choice than CoffeeScript. Typecript lets you mix JavaScript and Typescript.
