What do you think about MoonScript?

• python-lua

  1 144 0.0 Python

  Simple python to lua translator.

So although if I ever had to code for Lua I'd definitely consider Moonscript, I'd obviously prefer to just write even a subset of Python that compiles to Lua. This project could be promising for that: https://github.com/dmitrii-eremin/python-lua

• lua-languages

  Languages that compile to Lua

Maybe most of them are also small projects, but there are a lot of projects that compile other languages to Lua: https://github.com/hengestone/lua-languages .

• WorkOS

  workos.com sponsored

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  :crescent_moon: A language that compiles to Lua

Unless Luathonistas have no better way of accomplishing the same thing, or if Moonscript just compiles to bad Lua, the examples (https://moonscript.org/) seem compelling - Moonscript's definitely a great deal more readable than Lua. If typical Lua code is really that unreadable, no wonder it's niche. Moonscript's colons and => seem a little confusing and quirky. But if Moonscript can be zero-indexed, I'm sold
