Talk about abstraction! Java -> bytecode -> JVM -> CoffeeScript -> JavaScript -> interpreter/JIT -> machine code -> CPU -> hardware. Turtles all the way down.

  I don't think the CoffeeScript step exists in the pipeline. CoffeeScript is the language the JVM is written in, but I don't expect it outputs CoffeeScript itself.

    There is the compilation of the JVM via CoffeeScript to Javascript. It's hard to illustrate that in text.

    From a purely abstraction perspective that step makes sense. However it would be omitted if we were talking about a run time stack.

  My first thought when reading this was the possibility of removing Clojurescript's compile time Java dependency.
