MoonScript is a cross-platform, dynamic, scripting programming language which transcompiles into Lua. MoonScript was designed as an alternative to Lua, maintaining its speed and portability, while introducing several new object-oriented constructs, such as table comprehension, implicit return on functions, classes, inheritance, scope management statements, and reducing keyword noise compared to Lua.[1]
MoonScript was created in Fall 2011 by Leaf Corcoran as an alternative for Lua. Corcoran would later use MoonScript as the primary language when creating itch.io, a site for distrubuting indie video games.[2] Installation of MoonScript is primarily through the LuaRocks package manager. It has been adapted as a supported scripting language for a number of applications, such as the TIC-80 fantasy console. [3]
