Hey Matthew, glad you like the compiler. You can use our mailing list to communicate: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rapydscript and I'll check that my email is updated in the source code.

As for your questions:
0) I actually kept Python out of the name for that exact reason, I don't want people claiming that deviations from Python are a bug, the idea of the language is to create a pleasant and Pythonic experience in JS world and code that compiles to clean JS, not to reproduce Python exactly regardless of overhead. There is also another project called PythonJS (more recently renamed to Rusthon), with very similar goal to mine, I've been talking to its maintainer and we've both been trying to decide which direction to take the projects in (better JS integration/patterns vs better Py integration/patterns). In fact, the Rusthon maintainer just added RapydScript to a supported frontend, which means that via Rusthon project you'll soon be able to compile RS to CoffeeScript, lua, and C++/C as well.

1. I haven't had the need for Jasmine, but I can guarantee with 100% certainty that you can use RS with Jasmine with no extra wrappers/code. This has been the case with all other libraries/frameworks when this question has been asked in the past (AngularJS, jQuery, D3, Mapbox, etc.). The only exceptions you'll see are projects that want to take control and generate JavaScript for you.

2. Yes, grafpad (my original project) is roughly 20k lines of code, even RapydScript compiler itself is 20k lines of code or so, and compiles itself in milliseconds (try ./build after downloading the project). You won't need to worry about compilation speed unless you're doing something wrong in your project.

3. good job starting your counter at 0 :)

Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed responses.

I look forward to using RS!
