Anything and everything related to YueScript.

YueScript started as a Moonscript compiler and has turned into a much better alternative to Lua than Moonscript.

Sample from the website:

-- import syntax
import p, to_lua from "yue"

-- object literals
inventory =
  equipment:
    - "sword"
    - "shield"
  items:
    - name: "potion"
      count: 10
    - name: "bread"
      count: 3

-- list comprehension
map = (arr, action) -> [action item for item in *arr]
filter = (arr, cond) -> [item for item in *arr when cond item]
reduce = (arr, init, action): init -> init = action init, item for item in *arr

-- pipe operator
[1, 2, 3]
  |> map (x) -> x * 2
  |> filter (x) -> x > 4
  |> reduce 0, (a, b) -> a + b
  |> print

-- metatable manipulation
apple =
  size: 15
  <index>:
    color: 0x00ffff

with apple
  p .size, .color, .<index> if .<>?

-- js-like export syntax
export 🌛 = "Script of Moon"
