Civet is a programming language that is a superset of TypeScript, compiling to TypeScript or JavaScript with concise syntax like indentation-based blocks, pattern matching, and pipelines. It ships as an npm package with a CLI compiler/REPL, Node ESM/CJS loaders, build-tool plugins (Vite, esbuild, Rollup, etc.), and editor integrations.

Use cases

  • write TypeScript with less typing
  • transpile concise syntax to TypeScript
  • run .civet scripts directly in Node
  • add pattern matching and pipe operators to JavaScript
  • gradually modernize a CoffeeScript codebase
  • use indentation-based syntax with full TS type checking

When to choose

  • you want TypeScript's type system but prefer concise, indentation-based syntax
  • you want TC39-proposal features like pattern matching and pipes today
  • you want 99% JS/TS compatibility so existing tooling and code keep working

When to avoid

  • your team must write plain TypeScript/JavaScript with no build step
  • you need a mature ecosystem with guaranteed long-term support
  • you dislike nonstandard syntax or extra transpilation in your toolchain
