• Secretly introduced rust in my company, now they love it!

  There is a fork that compiles to js https://github.com/ghcjs/ghcjs compiler, and I believe the official glasgow compiler is working towards also supporting js/wasm (although I don't think they are supported as of yet). Source: about 1 year ago

  Default branch on ghcjs github is 8.6. 8.10 is a wip with commit from around a month ago. Source: about 3 years ago

• Why Do We Need Transpilation into JavaScript?

  At present, here at Typeable we develop frontend in Haskell and use the web framework Reflex and the functional reactive programming (FRP). The source code in Haskell is transpiled into the JavaScript code using GHCJS. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago

• Why supporting all programming languages is a bad idea

  In theory it is possible to write applications that run in the web browser in Java or C# or C++. There are compilers to compile Java to JavaScript or C++ to JavaScript/WebAssembly and a C# runtime that runs in the browser. In practice these technologies are very niche and only used for very few applications. The Cardano Wallet Daedalus is written in JavaScript even though most of the software for Cardano is...

• Marimo: Interactive Fluffy Ball

  I thought this was a three.js demo but it's actually built with a language called haxe [1]. I've never heard of this language before and looks really cool. Makes me want to play with it! [1] https://haxe.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What are some unpopular technologies you wish people knew more about?

  The Haxe programming language (https://haxe.org/). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value. "Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode." It's mostly popular in game dev circles, and is used by:... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• One Game, by One Man, on Six Platforms: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

  For those interested in cross platform game development, don't forget https://haxe.org/! The usefulness / popularity ratio is very high on this one :). - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• TC39 Proposal: Types as Comments

  I really enjoyed programming in AS3, and https://haxe.org/ was really helpful at the time to make development easier. Source: 12 months ago
