A proper subset of Haskell that compiles to JavaScript.

While I appreciate that they moved the site out to a dedicated URL, this is a duplicate of yesterday's HN submission:

People may appreciate the comments there.

Indeed, the old URL 301 redirects to this one. Noticed a spike in traffic from HN and came to see the cause. I see it's at the bottom already, voting-based-moderation works. :-)

Amazing stuff. This may finally give me an excuse to learn Haskell.

I have some concerns, though. I'm no JS expert, but it seems to me the resulting code is a bit difficult to read. The good thing about CoffeeScript is that the code that comes out is more or less like what you put in.
