I was going to suggest just going back to it's original name of LiveScript but it looks like that was subsumed by a language from the creator of CoffeeScript. How rude.
Early in my career, in the early 2000's I was tasked with modernizing a massive site that had many <script type="application/livescript"> tags throughout. I still don't fully understand, was it released to the public under this name at some point?
My googling just now indicates there may have been just a single public beta of Netscape that called it that. How strange.
- jampekka 1y agoI don't think the creator of CoffeeScript (Jeremy Ashkenas) was (directly) ever involved in LiveScript. LiveScript was forked from Coco which was forked from CoffeeScript. Wikipedia does claim Ashkenas was involved [1], but LiveScript website doesn't list him [2].
