Traceur's goal is to inform the designof new JavaScript features which are only valuable if they allow you to writebetter code. Traceur allows you to try out new and proposedlanguage featurestoday, helping you say what you mean in your code while informing the standards process.

JavaScript's evolution needs your input.Try out thenew language features.Tell ushow they work for you and what's still causing you to use more boilerplate and"design patterns" than you prefer.

Read theGetting Startedpage to get up and running. You can use some language features right now andeven try it out in your browserhere.Just type in some code and see what Traceur produces. For an idea of what isavailable and what we have in the pipeline, see theLanguage Featurespage.
