A modern JavaScript IDE should always keep pace with advancements in web development technology. WebStorm, with its short release cycles and a keen eye for trends, is equal to the task.

Whatever new technology a professional web developer wants to employ, WebStorm puts it into their hands, along with the right tools:

• CoffeeScript support in 3.0, including navigation, completions, refactoring, error-checking and more, helps you take advantage of brevity and readability of this language.
• Integration with JSLint enables new inspections to verify code quality.
• Support for Node.JS allows you to use all the IDE power for editing and debugging server-side JavaScript.

"JavaScript has become one of today's most popular languages, and as such deserves proper, full-fledged support in an IDE," said Alexey Gopachenko, WebStorm project lead. "The key thing in an IDE is to enhance developer productivity by offering smart ways to use the latest standards and technologies. By listening to our users, we ensure short, feedback-oriented release cycles so that WebStorm always stays on the cutting edge no matter what new technology comes to the scene."

The key new functionality in WebStorm 3.0 includes:
