Webpage Documentation doesn't seem to match current version

I was trying this project out, there's a nice webpage at
http://weepy.github.io/kaffeine/index.html

However, the content there doesn't seem to correspond to the latest version of this repository.

In particular the arrow notation for functions is not described on that webpage.

What is up?

Does that website need to be updated or am I installing the wrong version? I tried installing both the version in npm and cloning this repository directly and installing that.

hey

sorry i should update the repo - this project is no longer maintained.

i've gone off the idea of compiling JS for syntactic sugar - though I think
that flowJS and TypeScript have more merit.

It was an interesting experiment though!

Thanks

Thanks for you reply. Would love to see it worked on more, even just to bring everything up to date so it's all consistent. I think kaffeine is an interesting alternative to coffeescript. I prefer it in fact. I understand the motivation to move on though. Would love to see someone resurrect this project eventually.

I can relate to the sentiment that JS syntactic sugar is unnecessary. The only 2 things about javascript that really annoy me are the lack of multiline strings (makes embedding html and other languages difficult) and the function keyword (too long for anonymous functions). Having a language like Kaffeine that fixed those two things is really nice. Ruby style string interpolation is also a nice feature.

Typing systems are cool, but I do love my runtime/duck typing. With some good runtime typechecking libraries it's not too bad.

Anyway, thanks for the work you did making this great js dialect and I'm sorry to hear it's officially dead.
