Firstly, thanks for all the Hammerspoon work - it is a marvellous thing (and I'd love Apple to support something like it as an extension to OSA.)

> Where JS massively wins here, to my mind, is that there is so much tooling available for it

Yeah, I can see that being a big win for development and people already invested in the JS ecosystem.

(I'll stick with Hammerspoon v1 until it breaks and then figure something else out because it'll be a cold day in hell before I subject myself to JS/Node/Typescript again. The trauma runs deep and wide.)

Will give v2 a go with `lua2js`[0] transliteration and see if that's workable.
