    number = -42 if opposite # Functions: square = (x) -> x * x # Arrays: list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # Objects: math = root: Math.sqrt square: square cube: (x) -> x * square x Inspired by Ruby and Python Several features will be added to the next JS version

  37. class Point { x: number; y: number; constructor(x: number, y:

    number) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } getDist() { return Math.sqrt( this.x * this.x + this.y * this.y ); } } var p = new Point(3,4); var dist = p.getDst(); console.log("Hypotenuse is: " + dist); Optional static typing. Superset of JS.

  38. data Person = Person { name :: String, age ::

    Number } showPerson :: Person -> String showPerson (Person o) = o.name ++ ", aged " ++ show o.age examplePerson :: Person examplePerson = Person { name: "Bonnie", age: 26 } Inspired by Haskell
