As much as I don't like Apple/OS X, most of my friends do. Everyone got Mac _because_ of OS X. One got it because of low latency, and because he was "sure it won't hang up for a moment because of some background job". He uses it to make music. Others got it for its (OS X's) usability.
Also Moonscript is difficult to read (at least compared to Lua).

If you miss OO in Lua, use some OO library (I like middleclass).

Honestly, I don't see any gain in Moonscript.

because they actually try to give truthful answers, instead of making up numbers like everyone else.
I think this is a bad example. If a company hires a person to do X (where X is not 'cleaning the bathroom'), than that person should do X. If one does not do what he/she is hired to do than that person just wastes time and is not earning money for the company.

Who would you prefer to hire? Someone that 'cleans the bathroom' when it needs to be cleaned or someone that just ignores this and earns money so you could hire a cleaner?
