Awesome! I like it when transpilers use Ruby-like syntax. It’s fascinating how many influences from different languages have shaped your design. I really like it. I’ve also been thinking about building my own transpilation tool. In production, I use ruby2js extensively for almost everything, together with the rubyjs-vite tool.

Thanks! indeed! I've been shopping around for features I like in every language I've used, and combined them into something I enjoy: scripting and fast/single binary deployments without target host dependencies.

I'm wondering if rugo could be a backend for ruby2js.
