IcedCoffeeScript
summary
Claims that CoffeeScript gains concurrency with just two keywords and source-to-source transforms, showing a working implementation called IcedCoffeeScript that implements adds two keywords: defer and await. Code generation rotates AST to CPS to keep compatibility with existing callbacks and runtimes. Examples include converting serial to parallel by swapping loop and await, a pipeliner that limits to five outstanding requests, and a real site Commasaurus running about 30,000 lines of IcedCoffeeScript and 10,000 lines of Go in production.
