A fork of TypeScriptToLua (TSTL) that replaces the TypeScript dependency with typescript-t for compatibility with ttypescript. It transpiles TypeScript code into Lua, supporting the full TypeScript type system and emitting idiomatic Lua output. This version is based on TSTL v0.20.0. It is not actively maintained by the original authors and is intended for projects using ttypescript. Key differentiators: custom TypeScript compiler fork integration, same API as TSTL.
