TLDR In 2009 Jeremy Ashkenas created CoffeeScript, a programming language that compiles into JavaScript, called CoffeeScript. It was the first to present the concept of creating a function without a superfluous keyword function, replacing it with something that in 2015 was to become the function arrow (=> in ES6, -> in CoffeeScript). He also got rid of the curly braces (like Python), replacing them with indentations. In 2011, CoffeeScript was one of the most followed projects on GitHub and enjoyed relatively high popularity in the Ruby developers community.via the TL;DR App
