It has more than that. Check the buttons down at the bottom. It has switch statements that look for a true expression, preprocessor macros, sugar for appending to classes (like Objective-C's categories), sugar for shimming, and "nice functions" for avoiding callback hell.
That's a lot more than you get with literate CoffeeScript.

- if you have a "class Token" and later do "var token", the type is guessed by name affinity.
- if you do:
token = .getToken()
other = token
2. Type annotations: you directly state type
var other:Token
var read: Token array
