In plain words
Coffee++ is a programming language that compiles directly into C++ code on a one-to-one basis. Designed for developers familiar with CoffeeScript who want similar syntax for C++, it produces no runtime overhead and allows seamless integration with existing C++ libraries. The project was in alpha stage at launch and available on Github for community contribution.

From the sources
Coffee++ is a little language that compiles into C++. It has been created to have something similar to CoffeeScript for C++. Currently Coffee++ is in a alpha state and not at all usable or final.

You can use any existing C++ library seamlessly from Coffee++ (and vice-versa). include iostream int main(): age := 5 dog := Dog(age) if age != 7: dog.bark() class Dog: public Dog(int age): this->age := age public void bark(): std::cout << "Woof!\n" private int age compiled Test.hpp #pragma once int main(); class Dog…from bixense.com
