Hey guys, please don’t take this message as a trolling attempt or a generic bashing on Haxe. I love a lot of things about Haxe, but I am worried about the current state and the direction it is heading and wanted to get some of your thoughts. At the moment it feels like we basically only have one g…

In general I think you should look beyond what’s happening Haxe but look at programming world in general. Lot of people start to use JavaScript, you can do virtually anything with it; build websites, mobile/desktop applications, make commandline tools, build servers applications with it (nodejs etc)…

C# is not dead at all, we use it quite successfully for our games. While there are some issues and some of the generated code could be better performance-wise, it’s “production-ready” enough. C++ is the main output target for all OpenFL apps/games and the GC in particular is constantly evolving. And…

This is all valid concerns, and there is certainly a (known) lack of visibility in what happens - other stacks have evangelists and companies fighting for attention… Haxe-JS may appear stronger, because more people communicate about it!

I understand @seb ’s feelings, and I think questions like this are fine and to be expected. It’s really hard to get a picture of where Haxe is heading or the overall state of it. The official channels are rarely updated, blog posts come twice or thrice a year and don’t get follow-ups, issues and PRs…

Fully agree with @fullofcaffeine . I love Haxe and want it to succeed. I think we need to be realistic about how it’s doing and what problems we need to focus on. Haxe job results on Indeed: 5 results Typescript job results on Indeed: 2000+ results This is the main reason for the lack of contribut…

I love Haxe, @ncannasse and many other people in the community are doing an impressive technical work about it, but unfortunately, not everything can be solved by making pull requests. I wanted to complain here as well (hey, who’s next?) but stopped myself to do so. Instead, all I will say is: I d…

I feel that there is a lot of potential for Haxe if we can solve how to use it as an intermediate build step in a clean and standard way. What if you could generate SWC, JAR, DLL or CommonJS libraries cleanly for Flash, Java, C/C++, JS environments using Haxe? Consumers don’t have to use Haxe, but …

True, that’s an excellent use-case for Haxe. There are a few examples out there, including yours (OpenFL) and GitHub - paulfitz/daff: align and compare tables . There might be more. When Haxe-in-Haxe becomes a reality, adding new targets will be easier, so the potential of this use-case will be even…

I think this is quite a lot of complaint don’t you agree? :slight_smile: We did 7 releases last year. We work in parallel to create Haxe 4; It will have more awesome features. We improved IDE support a lot. ( vshaxe · GitHub GitHub - HaxeFoundation/intellij-haxe: Haxe plugin for IntelliJ Platform …
