JavaScript Alternatives

This is a short list of alternative languages of JavaScript:

1. Dart was unveiled at the GOTO conference in Aarhus in October 2011 October. It was developed at Google. Its goal is to replace JavaScript as the lingua franca of web development on the open web platform. Dart is intended to address JavaScript's problems, which, cannot be solved by evolving the language, while offering better performance, the ability to be more easily tooled for large-scale projects and better security features.

2. CoffeeScript is a programming language that transcompiles to JavaScript. The language is inspired by Ruby, Python and Haskell to enhance JavaScript's brevity and readability, and add more sophisticated features like list comprehension and pattern matching. CoffeeScript compiles predictably to JavaScript and programs can be written with less code. Critisims of CoffeeScript is that it does not bring any new paradigm and that's why it is unnecessary.
