Thanks for your hard work leafo! As a huge fan of Lua I'm always bumping into your contributions to the language and tools ..

Do you have some place where you organise your thoughts and make plans for Moonscripts' future?

Not really, all of my time is going into my company so I'm not really thinking about big picture stuff with MoonScript.

Some things I would like to eventually finish though:

* JavaScript output backend https://github.com/leafo/moonscript-javascript-compiler

* Replacing the AST transfomer with something written in tableshape: https://github.com/leafo/tableshape

* Experimenting with writing an lpeg alternative that works more like a parser generator, experimented here https://github.com/leafo/moonparse

* Formalizing the syntax transformation pipeline (this would be how things like macros could be implemented)

If you have ideas feel free to open issues on the github. I may not be able to reply immediately but at least they are written down somewhere. Thanks
