It enhances Coco and CoffeeScript by adding more features and a cleaner, more expressive syntax.
Here are some key features of "LiveScript":
· Much faster
· OOP code
· Support for operators, conditionals, loops, switches, assignments, literals and functions
Requirements:

· Allowed empty class definitions, eg. class A extends B
· Bound methods (eg. f: ~>) are bound to the instance, not to the class
