Yes, although my experience with Moonscript does not match yours with Coffeescript.

What I personally like a lot is how it makes it easier to write efficient Lua by because (for example) it makes local variables the default.

Also, FWIW the LuaRocks server is written in Moonscript, and that's a pretty important bit of Lua infrastructure I'd say.

Not to mention itch.io, which is maybe more relevant to the topic of this thread.

Nitpick: The server is openresty (Nginx). The web-framework is Lapis, which is Lua and can be developed on with Lua or Moonscript.
