I want to make a non-english programming language that is identical to what CoffeeScript is to JavaScript. What I mean is that I don't want to build my own design or syntax. Just want to have a non-english programming language that compiles to JavaScript. I want to follow everything CoffeeScript fellows so I don't really want to make any design decisions.

For example:

This is coffeescript:

number   = 42
opposite = true

number = -42 if opposite

I want my language to be something like:

??? = 42
??? = ????

??? = -42 ??? ???

that get compiled to:

var number, opposite;

number = 42;

opposite = true;

if (opposite) {
  number = -42;
}
