Moonscript Support

Moonscript support ships built-in to lde. Any .moon files in your src dir will automatically be compiled ahead of time to lua into your target directory.

Quickstart

1. Run this and cd into it:

lde new --language moonscript ./hello-moon

The scaffold writes src/init.moon as the entry point; no other configuration is needed as .moon files compile to Lua automatically.

2. Replace src/init.moon with:

greet = require("hello-moon.greet")
n = 40
print(greet("moon") .. " " .. tostring(n + 2))

3. Make src/greet.moon:

greet = (name) -> "hello " .. name
return greet

4. Run it with lde run

The output is:

hello, moon 42

The file src/init.moon is the entry point. This is the same as src/init.lua for packages that use Lua.
