About YueScript
YueScript is a dialect of MoonScript that compiles to readable, predictable Lua. It keeps Lua interoperability while adding modern language features such as pipes, pattern matching, slicing and destructuring, with a more concise syntax than plain Lua.
It suits Lua developers, including those scripting games and embedded applications, who want a terser language without leaving the Lua ecosystem. Documentation is available in several languages, including English, German, Portuguese, Indonesian and Chinese.
