Chilloscript

1.0.4101 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript deprecated

A JavaScript transpiler (v1.0.4101) that allows using emojis as and within identifiers, enabling more expressive variable and function names. It transpiles .🤙 files to standard JavaScript, supporting single files or directory-wide conversion. Released under MIT License. Note: experimental, not suitable for production. Deprecated by the author (last commit 2019).

Common errors

error chilloscript: command not found ↓

cause CLI not installed globally or not in PATH.

fix

Run with npx: npx chilloscript --src . --outDir dist

error Error: Cannot find module 'chilloscript' ↓

cause Importing as library instead of using CLI.

fix

Use CLI from command line, do not require() it.

Warnings

deprecated Package is deprecated and unmaintained since 2019. ↓

fix Do not use in new projects. Consider esbuild plugin or babel plugin for similar functionality.

gotcha Only supports files with .🤙 extension; does not work with regular .js files. ↓

fix Rename your source files to .🤙 before transpiling.

gotcha Not all JavaScript runtimes support emoji identifiers natively; transpiled code may require transpilation to avoid syntax errors in older environments. ↓

fix Ensure target environment supports ES2015+ or run output through Babel.
