Emit method calls as foo:bar where appropriate.
Upgrade to latest Fennel version.
Fix outdated test case.
Turn Lua code into Fennel code. Does the opposite of what the Fennel compiler does.
Somewhat immature, but it works on the 2250-line (pre-selfhosted) Fennel compiler with no problems.
$ make
$ ./antifennel targetfile.lua > targetfile.fnl
The antifennel script is self-contained and can be moved or
symlinked onto your $PATH; all it requires to run is LuaJIT.
Or during development, run without building:
$ luajit antifennel.lua targetfile.lua > targetfile.fnl
Requires LuaJIT.
The Antifennel compiler assumes its input file is valid Lua; it does not attempt to give good error messages when provided with files that won't parse.
Antifennel will not emit variadic operators.
Fennel code does not support goto, so neither does Antifennel.
Early returns will compile to very ugly Fennel code, but they should be correct.
Multiple value assignment doesn't work if setting table keys that aren't static. For instance, this is OK:
tbl.field1.q, x = "QUEUE", 13
But this is not supported:
tbl.field1[id], x = "IDENTIFIER", 99
The second example must be split into two separate assignments in
order to compile, since tset does not support multiple value
assignment in Fennel.
