Well, first of all tink_web is not in any way the replacement for haxe.remoting. There are a number of reasons why haxe.remoting got moved out of the std lib:
- it’s not cross platform (e.g. no support for nodejs) and nobody seems to care enough to change that, so also it can’t be that popular - seems that for example nobody on the compiler team is seriously using it anymore
- it’s reflection based, which makes it slow, somewhat unreliable, potentially unsafe and unsuitable for minification
- it uses a non-standard protocol that is not particularly space efficient.
With practically no changes over the past 10 years (versus the underling haxe serialization which gets improved/adapted quite regularly and therefore is in the std library) I think there’s no reason to panic about haxe remoting now being in a library.
If haxe remoting works fine for you, you can continue using it. Other people have other constraints and everybody should use what’s best for them
