-'''MoonScript''' is a [[cross-platform]], dynamic, scripting [[programming language]] which [[source-to-source compiler|transcompiles]] into [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]]. MoonScript was designed as an alternative to Lua, maintaining its speed and portability, while introducing several new [[object-oriented programming|object-oriented]] constructs, such as table comprehension, implicit return on functions, [[class (computer programming)|classes]], [[Inheritance (object-oriented programming)|inheritance]], scope management statements, and reducing keyword noise compared to Lua.<ref>{{cite web |title=MoonScript, a language that compiles to Lua |url=http://moonscript.org |website=MoonScript |accessdate=20 February 2019}}</ref>
