I've spent probably 200 hours with MoonScript, was obsessed with it for a bit, and love it 90% of the time. The problem is that MoonScript's grammar is INCREDIBLY permissive. Common typos(often involving spaces) don't break your code, whereas in Lua or Python the mistake wouldn't compile.

MoonScript is awesome but I lean on compilers pretty heavily to catch my mistakes, so I sadly and regrettably admitted that I was more productive with other toolchains.
