# Migrating to 2.0

Tutorial on how to migrate to 2.0

## Lua 5.2 -> Luau

This is the biggest compatibility breaking change for 2.0. The transition from Lua 5.2 (Moonsharp) to Luau. One of the big change being the now non-available `goto` statements. Which you'll have to switch to `continue` statement instead.

## Tweening

Tweening has been revamped in 2.0. You should create a tween object first, then tween it from there. Example:

```lua
local part: Part = script.Parent
local origin = part.Position
local tw = Tween:NewTween()

print("Tween Start!")

tw:TweenVector3(origin, origin + Vector3.New(0, 10, 0), 10, function(val)
    part.Position = val
end)

tw.Finished:Wait()

print("Tween Finished!")
```

## Particles

Particles has been revamped in 2.0.

## Datastore retrieving

Datastore now no longer requires waiting for it to load first.

```lua
local ds = Datastore:GetDatastore("datastore1")
ds:SetAsync("coins", 11)
local coins: number = ds:GetAsync("coins")
print(coins)
```

You may notice that these function now require Async suffix, which brings us to:

## Async functions

Some function will now be required to be async in non compatibility mode. These include but not limited to: Http requests, Datastore data retrieving, Insert via InsertService etc.

Example HTTP Request made with 2.0:

```lua
local success, res = pcall(function()  
	return Http:GetAsync("http://example.com/")
end)
print(success, res)
```

To run multiple tasks simultaneously, use `spawn`

```lua
spawn(function() 
	local success, res = pcall(function()  
		return Http:GetAsync("https://example.com")
	end)
	print(success, res)
end)

local ds = Datastore:GetDatastore("datastore1")
ds:SetAsync("coins", 11)
local coins: number = ds:GetAsync("coins")
print(coins)
```
