Fear not. The re-implementation will be completely backwards compatible. It just a smoother compilation pipeline, and adds some output configurability. But regardless, Jeremy and I have decided it would be best to change the name.

I will suggest a few alternatives: Winescript, Caffèscript, Browniscript, Shortscript and Rubyscript.

The names I suggested were "CoffeeScript: Reloaded", "CoffeeScript Episode II: Attack of the Clones", "The CoffeeScript Supremacy", and "Live Free or CoffeeScript Hard". Technically, right now it's "CoffeeScript II: The Wrath of Khan". Jeremy suggested CoffeeScript Redux. That's probably the best choice, though a little boring.

That would be the fourth version of CoffeeScript. The 2nd version would be "CoffeeScript 2: Script Harder" which is much more awesome.

Maybe a name that distinguishes this compiler for CoffeeScript from CoffeeScript-the-language would be better? There may be other CoffeeScript compilers int the future, should they really all have the same name and be numbered? "CoffeeScript 2" (or any whimsical name that contains "CoffeeScript") would be confusing, it implies that it's the second version of the original CoffeeScript compiler, which it isn't.

[a-priori]

Might I suggest "CoffeeScript II: Electric Boogaloo"?

I'd personally suggest 'CoffeeScript vs Predator' too.

Since naming after desserts and alliterative animals has already been done, I wholeheartedly support action film naming conventions.

+1 for Caffèscript
