Better error message for 1.1 + 1.1;;
One possibility would be to do something like the now-defunct Amulet language (an ML that compiled to Lua) did. You'd get accurate compiler errors, but also an additional error number that corresponds to a more beginner-friendly explanation of common reasons for the error, pulled from here, that could be accessed with amc explain 1234 on the command line or :explain 1234 in a REPL. So for example, if you tried the same kind of error as OP tried, like 1.1 + 1, you'd get this:

How can I load a module name from a variable?
Kind of a side note, but I wasn't a big fan of moonscript. I don't really like the Python-like approach to syntax and it just didn't suit me. F# or Haskell handles it better, and OCaml manages to look similar without actually needing whitespace sensitivity; I think they all do it way better than Python or Python-inspired languages. I really liked the idea of of the ML-style Amulet because of this, but it's a dead project now apparently. :(
