A TypeScript-to-Lua Compiler for Roblox
As Roblox games become increasingly complex and larger in scope, efficiently writing safe code becomes challenging with Lua. In addition, Lua is difficult to make tooling for.
roblox-ts is designed to solve these problems by compiling TypeScript code directly into Lua, tuned for use in Roblox specifically.
roblox-ts is an attempt to bridge the abilities of TypeScript to work in a Roblox environment. We break down your code into an abstract syntax tree (via ts-morph) and emit functionally similar structures in Lua so that the code behaves the same (minus the type information).

roblox-ts is powered by ts-morph and is inspired by TypescriptToLua
