CoffeeScript vs Fabric.js: What are the differences?

CoffeeScript: Unfancy JavaScript. CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. 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; Fabric.js: The easiest way to work with HTML5 canvas. It provides interactive object model on top of canvas element. Fabric also has SVG-to-canvas (and canvas-to-SVG) parser. Using Fabric.js, you can create and populate objects on canvas; objects like simple geometrical shapes.

CoffeeScript and Fabric.js can be categorized as "Languages" tools.

CoffeeScript and Fabric.js are both open source tools. CoffeeScript with 15.3K GitHub stars and 2K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Fabric.js with 13.2K GitHub stars and 2.14K GitHub forks.

ES6

Goals for ECMAScript 2015 include providing better support for large applications, library creation, and for use of ECMAScript as a compilation target for other languages. Some of its major enhancements include modules, class declarations, lexical block scoping, iterators and generators, promises for asynchronous programming, destructuring patterns, and proper tail calls.
