ShotScript

Luau with a thin layer on top: classes, modules and interfaces you can read at a glance, compiled to plain, strictly typed Luau.

Write Roblox games and tools that run on your computer in one language with one checker: shot check reports every mistake at its line before anything runs.

The language

LanguageWhat every project shares: classes, modules, types, events, the checker and the shot command.
