[Lua](http://ww.lua.org/). It gives you the power of the fastest scripting

convenient object creation statement called `with`.

# Command Line Use
|
||||
|
||||
Two tools are installed with MoonScript, `moon` and `moonc`.
|
||||
|
||||
## moon
|
||||
|
||||
`moon` can be used to run MoonsScript files directly from the command line,
|
||||
without needing a separate compile step. All MoonsScript files are compiled in
|
||||
memory as they are run.
|
||||
|
||||
Any MoonScript files that are required will also be compiled and run
|
||||
automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to this, when an error occurs during runtime, the stack trace is
|
||||
rewritten to give line numbers from the original `.moon` file.
|
||||
|
||||
## moonc
|
||||
|
||||
`moonc` is used for transforming a MoonsScript file into a Lua file.
|
||||
It takes a list of files, compiles them all, and creates the associated `.lua`
|
||||
files alongside the `.moon` files.
|
||||
|
||||
You can control where the compiled files are put using the `-t` flag, followed
|
||||
by a directory.
|
||||
|
||||
`moonc` can also take a directory as an argument, and it will recursively scan
|
||||
for all MoonScript files and compile them.
|
||||
|
||||
Combined with `linotify` on linux, the `-w` flag can be used to watch all files
|
||||
that match the given search path for changes, and then compile them only when
|
||||
required.
