Dotfuscator vs. JSDefender vs. MoonScript vs. TypeScript Comparison Chart

Application development teams face an ever-growing set of security threats as apps become more central to business and attackers grow in sophistication. These days, intellectual property theft is just the beginning – apps are also gateways to trade secret theft, customer/user data theft, and to identifying further attack vectors. Breaches in any of these areas can cause serious revenue, reputation, and brand damage. Sophisticated app dev organizations know that investing in app protection is good risk management. Basic renaming obfuscation isn’t enough. PreEmptive Protection Dotfuscator for .NET provides many layers of protection: multiple forms of obfuscation (renaming, string encryption, control flow, and more) plus active runtime checks (tamper, debug, root, and more). But it’s not just about protection – we design and test all these layers to be sure that they won’t break your app as the runtime platform evolves.

MoonScript is a dynamic scripting language that compiles into Lua. It gives you the power of one of the fastest scripting languages combined with a rich set of features. MoonScript can either be compiled into Lua and run at a later time, or it can be dynamically compiled and run using the moonloader. Because it compiles right into Lua code, it is completely compatible with alternative Lua implementations like LuaJIT, and it is also compatible with all existing Lua code and libraries. The command line tools also let you run MoonScript directly from the command line, like any first-class scripting language. MoonScript provides a clean syntax using significant whitespace that avoids all the keyword noise typically seen in a Lua script. It also adds table comprehensions, implicit return on functions, classes, inheritance, scope management statements import & export, and a convenient object creation statement called with.
