Does love work well with moonscript?

Yes, very well

While we're at it: everyone, check out MoonScript [1]. It's a great, succinct and featureful compile-to-Lua language, although sadly not very widespread at the moment. It features significant whitespace, syntactic sugar to reduce keyword noise in programs, table and list comprehensions, line (statement) decorators, classes, export and import for working with modules, implicit return, JSON-like table literals and much, much more. I, for one, absolutely love working with it. [1]: http://moonscript.org http://moonscript.org

  Everyone check out Lapis [0] as well! [0]: http://leafo.net/lapis/ http://leafo.net/lapis/

  Awesome, thanks for this! I've always found love to be great, but I didn't enjoy using lua once the program grew to a non-trivial size.

  I tried but the \ syntax for calling an instance method on an object is asinine and I hate it.

    Heh yes, a very common complaint. I don't like it either, but the trade off still seems worth it.

  There's also MoonLisp compiling to Lua, written in... MoonScript [0]. The output isn't pretty, but I'm looking for a lisp for NodeMCU, so I might give it a shot :), maybe combined with [1] due to way NodeMCU seems to work (interpreting / locally compiling files + little memory = you want to save on source length, including comments).

Yeah. I have used it with love. Moonscript is compiled beforehand to Lua, so it works the same. Lua's syntax is very nice, but the conciseness of Moonscript is nice for a lot of things.
