On a related topic, Haxe now compiles to Lua as well : https://haxe.org/blog/hello-lua/ https://haxe.org/blog/hello-lua/ (disclosure : I'm the author of the lua target) Back to moonscript/Lua, I've been super impressed with the YAGNI principals of the language. I was originally drawn to LuaJIT and its raw speed, but there's a lot of great things to say about the language and its community. My goal is to write more Lua for smaller scripting purposes, and use Haxe/Lua for more complex projects, taking advantage of LuaJIT speed in both cases.
