It's my favorite build system. A big advantage is automatic dependency tracking. It picks up unspecified inputs and automatically rebuilds anything further down the dependency tree. It also knows how to clean up files that it no longer

For many libraries, it's pretty easy to write code that works across all the versions. For many differences it's not too difficult to implement code for maximum compatibility: http://leafo.net/guides/setfenv-i

Hey all, I made MoonScript about 6 years ago. I used it to build a ton of opensource stuff in addition to the company I founded. I use it every day and I'm very happy with how it's turned out. I regret not updating the language mo

LuaJIT powers OpenResty[1] which powers my web framework Lapis[2] which powers my company itch.io[3]! (wow that's a mouthful) Anyway, it's a stack I'm really happy to be using. Asynchronous IO without any code nesting. I wrot

MoonScript is designed to compile to Lua, and there are no good ways to run Lua in the browser right now. It's impossible to write a Lua -> JS transpiler while matching all the same functionality (coroutines), so the only option is
