I’ve written a post about the adoption of Haxe on [FontStruct.com](http://FontStruct.com) [https://medium.com/@fontstruct/the-joy-of-haxe-84f933f4b859](https://medium.com/@fontstruct/the-joy-of-haxe-84f933f4b859) I’ll be tweeting about it later but posting here first. I’ve also open-sourced part of FontStruct’s font generation module: > **[FontStruct/fonthx](https://github.com/FontStruct/fonthx)** > > Font File Generation in Haxe.

I am a bit late to the party (but I clapped on Medium!!!) but I still want to say: Thank you so much for writing this! Not just because it is about Haxe, but also because I love your writing style. I Was chuckling and smiling throughout. This was actually a really good article to show to some people I know who have no idea what Haxe is. They got it ^-^ ---

Yes, agreed, an excellent and well-written article. The notion of _multi-platform_ development seems totally alien to so many people, yet it has saved my consultancy probably _tens of thousands of dollars(!)_ in development costs by credibly allowing us to develop on both the client and the server side at the same time. Furthermore, it lets us develop both “web-based client” software _and_ “mobile-app client” software – for multiple platforms(!) – **all** of the foregoing coming from a single code-base in a language with strong _compile-time_ error checking. Nearly all of our projects originate from “rescuing” existing projects that have run into near-fatal trouble – umm, we’ve been doing that since 1992 – and _lately_ many of those were dying because “one project had blossomed into three, no make it four, no make it …” when **all** of those efforts were simply trying to work together to do the _one, same_ thing. In more than one occasion we **scrapped** several of these efforts in favor of Haxe. _(See footnote.)_. We brought the project home _because of_ Haxe. (We owe a debt to its developers and to its community that we can never repay.) If we were to write a blog-post of our own experiences, it would read much like this one but undoubtedly be written much less well. “Thanks for sharing.” – – – _(Footnote)_ As it turns out, we were able to use OpenFL (in relevant cases) with apparently more success than this author did. _(Yay!)_ Of course, “every project is unique and different,” and … the sheer beauty and power of Haxe is that 'you can **choose**." You can even _un-make_ your decision – as the author did – without abandoning the entire benefits of the greater Haxe framework. _“And this, frankly, is revolutionary.”_
