MoonScript is a programmer friendly language that compiles into
[Lua](http://www.lua.org/). It gives you the power of the fastest scripting
language combined with a rich set of features. It runs on Lua 5.1 and above,
including alternative runtimes like LuaJIT.

## Running Tests

Tests are written in MoonScript and use [Busted](http://olivinelabs.com/busted/).

To run tests, execute from the root directory:
