LiveScript is a functional programming language that transpiles to JavaScript. It was created by Jeremy Ashkenas, the creator of CoffeeScript, along with Satoshi Muramaki, George Zahariev, and many others.[2] (The name may be an homage to the beta name of JavaScript; for a few months in 1995, it was called LiveScript before the official release.[3])
