Re: MoonScript, a language that compiles to Lua

[Tom <tom.wieland@...>]

Here's my thoughts from reading the reference;
- I don't really like the unary negation in
  http://moonscript.org/reference/#considerations because there's always people
  that will write it either x-y or x - y and while I don't object with using
  whitespace and line endings as a part of the control flow I think this is
  just like something silly like not allowing x( y ) and enforcing x(y).
  Wouldn't this already be solved by doing x(-10) (or x(- 10) or x( -10 ) or
  x( - 10 ) in moonscript?
- Same for strings as first argument. I think this is too special of a case of
  making a problem of to solve because it doesn't even apply to second to n'th
  arguments. I'd much prefer requiring a space just as with non string
  arguments.
- a\b! --> a:b() doesn't feel 'natural'. b doesn't seem 'connected' to a. Guess
  this feeling will pass when I've used moonscript for a while.
