CoffeeScript vs. JavaScript vs. Source Defense Comparison Chart

Underneath that awkward Java-esque patina, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way. The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: “It’s just JavaScript.” The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly from CoffeeScript (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable, pretty printed, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript. Most modern JavaScript features that CoffeeScript supports can run natively in Node 7.6+, meaning that Node can run CoffeeScript’s output without any further processing required. This list may be incomplete, and excludes versions of Node that support newer features behind flags; please refer to node.green for full details. You can run the tests in your browser to see what your browser supports.

Source Defense is a mission critical element of web security designed to protect data at the point of input. The Source Defense Platform provides a simple and effective solution for data security and data privacy compliance – addressing threats and risks originating from the increased use of JavaScript, third-party vendors, and open-source code in your web properties. The Platform provides options for securing your own code, as well as addressing a ubiquitous gap in the management of third-party digital supply chain risk – controlling the actions of the third-party, fourth and nth party JavaScript that powers your site experience. The Source Defense Platform protects against all forms of client-side security incidents – keylogging, formjacking, digital skimming, Magecart, etc. – by extending web security beyond the server to the client-side (the browser).
