CoffeeShit, The CoffeeScript Parody


    ... because script happens!


This silly project does not want to offend the CoffeeScript creator neither any CoffeeScript user, hoping both have sense of humor :D

About

Every cult movie has one or more parodies ... well, every cult technology as well (or at least it should)!
This idiotic project is on github with a better explanation, a suite of unit tests, and both source code and the partially manually minified one ( manually because I have discovered a nice bug with closure compiler and eval there ... )

About The Name

You can check the library by yourself and realize I have used all worst possible practices in order to simulate a different syntax within the one allowed by JavaScript.
Such pile of shit I wrote to mimic an excellent project as CoffeeScript is could not have a better name, imo.
If you feel insulted by this idiotic experiment please let me know and I'll do my best to let people try it under a different name.

Example


// CoffeeScript
square = (x) -> x * x
fill = (container, liquid = "coffee") ->
"Filling the #{container} with #{liquid}..."
mood = greatlyImproved if singing
eat food for food in ['toast', 'cheese', 'wine']
winner = yes if pick in [47, 92, 13]
speed ?= 75

// CoffeeShit
square = 'x'['->']('x * x')
fill = ['container', 'liquid = "coffee"']['->'](
'Filling the #{container} with #{liquid}...'
)
mood = greatlyImproved.if(singing)
'eat(food)'.for('food').in(['toast', 'cheese', 'wine'])
winner = yes.if(pick.in([47, 92, 13]))
'speed'['?='](75)

Many more in the landing page, even more inside unit tests file.

As Summary

I really could not resist :D
This post aim is to let you write some comment, have fun with CoffeeShit!

  1. Hah, nice one. Reminds me a bit about my silly attempt at poke fun at PHP/jQuery/certain-other-things with pooQuery... Some people took it seriously, so I guess it was pretty succesful.. :D

  2. ah ah Jani, didn't noo pooQuery, brilliant :D

    However, I would rather prefer developers use CofeeScript rather than this stupid JS library ... it's really the most evil code I could possibly think about, wrong for so many reasons ... not sure it will have a future, but it can prove JS is quite flexible ;)

  3. This is great... I love the gratuitous (mis)use of eval() and the String and Object and prototypes.
