RedScript

A Ruby Flavored JavaScript Experiment

  • Paste (almost) any JS into a RedScript file
  • Cleaner syntax for modules (AMD and CommonJS)
  • Easier class like inheritance & self based prototypal inheritance syntax

RedScript was created to provide a more native experience for modules (AMD & CommonJS), easier inheritence, and a Ruby style syntax that still behaves like JavaScript.

It was also created as a side project to learn more about Node, NPM Modules and Regular Expressions. In the future I would also like to add a proper lexer/parser to implement more advanced features like optional parens and ES5 attr_accessor like properties. Pull requests welcome ;-)

To Install Globally and Run

sudo npm install -g redscript
