CoffeeScript

CoffeeScript is a language that compiles into JavaScript, and is aimed at exposing the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.

The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JavaScript, and there is no interpretation at runtime. You can use any existing JavaScript library seamlessly from CoffeeScript (and vice-versa). The compiled output is readable and pretty-printed, passes through JavaScript Lint without warnings, will work in every JavaScript runtime, and tends to run as fast or faster than the equivalent handwritten JavaScript.
