Yes, Civet has taken a lot of syntactic inspiration from LiveScript. At this point, I think we have most of the good features, but we might be missing some. Let us know what you think!
The big difference, of course, is that Civet fully supports TypeScript, and is up-to-date with the latest JavaScript and TypeScript features.
- k__ 2y agoNice! I loved LiveScript, but it got kinda lost in the wake of ES6. They planned to add types, but never got around doing it (at least the last time I looked).
- p2edwards 2y agoI do miss 2 features from LiveScript: 1. `wxyz = [ 2 8 -5 5 ]` (commas optional for non callables) 2. `console.log \hello` (backslash strings) Don't know how hard/compatible #1 is, but for #2 I had a tested PR that I could bring around. (#3 was bulleted lists, but you already added that!)
