CoffeeScript vs Metacode: What are the differences?
What is 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.
What is Metacode? The fastest way to navigate and understand code. It is an advanced code filtering tool. Filter your codebase with automatically detected keywords. Avoid clicking through files to inspect each match. Results show their surrounding code, all on one page.
CoffeeScript and Metacode are primarily classified as "Languages" and "Code Search" tools respectively.
CoffeeScript is an open source tool with 15.3K GitHub stars and 2K GitHub forks. Here's a link to CoffeeScript's open source repository on GitHub.
