What you'll learn
Compile-to-JavaScript languages are popular, but sometimes these new languages are introducing features that you don't need, or don't address the problems which you want to solve. Sweet.js comes at it from another angle: rather than having a new language, it gives you the building blocks to make the extensions you need to solve your problems. Learn how to use macros to create specialized syntax and polyfill language-level features without an entirely new language.
