Lunascript was very different from JavaScript, partly because it had automatic support for our reactivity system. As a result it compiled to JavaScript that looked nothing like the original code (even the control flow was different). Reading this code was very difficult.

The IDE support for TypeScript is actually pretty great; building our own tooling support for LunaScript felt like something we didn't really want to have to do.
