Nodescript NPM

"Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
- Antoine de Saint-Exupery

NodeScript is a JavaScript dialect for perfectionists with deadlines.

Differences with JavaScript:

Semicolons. Semicolons are automatically inserted even when the next line starts with (, [, or ,`
Variable declarations. let-declarations are automatically inserted for non-declared variables
Strict mode. "use strict" is automatically inserted in files
JSX. JSX is supported out of the box
Static typing. (Under consideration) Static typing is supported via Flow.
Node API. (Under consideration) Node's API is automatically promisified.
