CoffeeScript vs. FastScript vs. Lua vs. Velocity.js Comparison Chart

FastScript is a cross-platform, multi-language scripting engine. It is useful for programmers who want to add scripting ability to their projects. FastScript can be used in Delphi 7-XE8, C++Builder 2005-XE8, Embarcadero RAD Studio 11 and Lazarus. FastScript is written entirely in 100% Object Pascal. A unique feature of FastScript is its ability to use several languages (PascalScript, C++Script, BasicScript, and JScript). This allows you to write scripts using your favorite language. FastScript does not use the Microsoft Scripting Host so it can be used in both the Windows and Linux environments and also in Mac OS. FastScript offers a wide range of features, including cross-platform scripting, fast code execution, a small footprint, a large variety of tools, and excellent scaling options. Use FastScript to make your applications really flexible and powerful!

Velocity is an animation engine with the same API as jQuery's animate. It works with and without jQuery. It's incredibly fast, and it features color animation, transforms, loops, easings, SVG support, and scrolling. It is the best of jQuery and CSS transitions combined. Download Velocity, include it on your page and replace all instances of jQuery's animate with velocity. You will immediately see a performance boost across all browsers and devices, especially on mobile. Velocity works everywhere, back to IE8 and Android 2.3. Under the hood, it mimics jQuery's queue, and thus interoperates seamlessly with jQuery's animate, fade, and delay. Since Velocity's syntax is identical to animate, your code doesn't need to change. JavaScript and jQuery are falsely conflated. JavaScript animation, which Velocity uses, is fast; it's jQuery that's slow. Although Velocity works alongside jQuery, it uses its own animation stack that delivers its performance.
