I recently found out about MoonScript, and it looks pretty interesting. It gives you a bunch of neat features like classes, (with inheritance) importing, exporting, and a lot more. And a few others seem to also have shown interest in it. However, it seems the main problem with using MoonScript with CC is that it requires a native Lua library, LPeg, which parses the syntax and grammar of Lua code.
It turns out that there is a pure-Lua port of LPeg - LuLPeg, which is supposedly a drop-in replacement for LPeg, with only a couple differences which are rather minor. So, in theory, it would be relatively easy to port MoonScript to use LuLPeg instead of LPeg, and therefore, work in CC - further expanding the choice of languages.
What do you guys think? If I find the time, I might see if I can get MoonScript working in CC as it's definitely something that I'm interested in.
