Learn MOONSCRIPT with Real Code Examples

MoonScript adds no runtime overhead

Compiled Lua is as fast as hand-written Lua

Performance depends on Lua version/runtime

Use LuaJIT for high-performance execution

Avoid unnecessary table allocations in performance-critical code

MoonScript inherits Lua’s security considerations

Sanitize inputs if running untrusted scripts

Avoid dynamic code execution unless necessary

Validate Lua modules before use

Use proper sandboxing in embedded environments

Log performance in Lua runtime

Measure table allocations

Debug compiled Lua output

Use print or logging modules

Monitor memory for large scripts

Use consistent indentation

Comment modules and functions

Prefer classes for reusable code

Leverage comprehensions for clarity

Keep Lua interop minimal and explicit
