Haxe Reviews and details

• Wax compiler – a tiny language designed to transpile to other languages

  This remineds me of Haxe[1]. I like Wax better because of the Common-Lisp-like syntax. [1]: https://haxe.org. - Source: Hacker News / 18 days ago

• 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 2 months 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

• TIL: "private_constant"

  Been tinkering in the Haxe programming language recently. I definitely suggest checking it out, but one thing I liked was private constants. I know other languages have this, but its where I've encountered it most recently. Source: about 1 year ago

• Unexpected Update 2.1.2

  The game was written in Haxe (the language) and OpenFL (the engine). Source: about 1 year ago

• Writing an OS in Rust to run on RISC-V

  Something like Haxe? https://haxe.org/ Obviously not “any” language but it has more compile targets than your average bear. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Haxe-neovim a new toolchain to build NeoVim plugins

  Hello, fellow NeoVim enthusiasts! Today, I'm excited to introduce a new toolchain for building neovim plugins using Haxe. Haxe is a statically typed language that is known for its safety and efficiency, making it a great choice for building complex applications. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: I just want to have fun programming again

  Seems like Haxe (https://haxe.org/) might be fun for you. Per others, though, perhaps it's the motivation that's required. Do you want to write games? - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Is adobe actionscript still used?

  A chunk of the Flash game developer community went to HaXe (https://haxe.org/), so you might like using HaXe. Source: over 1 year ago

• Alternatives to Adobe Flash for game development?

  There is https://haxe.org/ and I think there are a few projects for converting actionscript to haxe. Source: over 1 year ago

• Uno platform: build single-codebase applications across all platforms

  Is it somehow comparable to Haxe? (https://haxe.org/). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Deobfuscating SWF files for fun and for nostalgia

  On the other end of the spectrum, there is also Haxe which instead provides a language and syntax similar to ActionScript (which is used in Flash files) that can target a multitude of platforms with one codebase. Haxe also has tools to help convert ActionScript codebases to Haxe which has been met with moderate success. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

  They actually create/use Hack. Haxe is something else. Source: almost 2 years ago

• What programming language / engine is dicey dungeons made in?

  Dicey Dungeons is created with Haxe, using my own framework, which is an extension on top of OpenFL and HaxeStarling. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Make Tracker Tunes in the Browser

  It is nice to see that finally this can be done in the web. I worked a bit in web-based sound around 2008 for the music playback in some Flash games[0] I was working on and at the time sound was woefully limited. I wanted to use MOD music because of their much smaller size (i wanted to keep my games less than 1MB in size because at the time many people had slow connections and really you didn't want people to wait... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Programming Language Comparison Cheat Sheet

  Err. "Which topics are you missing?" I don't think you even started :) What about haskell/ocaml/erlang? Leaving Prolog aside, what about Lua/Julia? How do they fit into your table? Derivatives like Scala/Kotlin with a target of JVM. Or go/rust/C# with the target to Webassembly. What about MS CRT and their lot of enterprise dev languages? Good concepts from "more mature" languages propagate into modern - like... Source: almost 2 years ago

• C app that can build C apps

  - There are also languages that transpile to C and help you avoid build system PAIN (take https://haxe.org/ for an example). Source: almost 2 years ago

• I’m new to computers but I’m 22 where do I start??

  I don't know if it is considered "easy" but I use Haxe. I think that it is pretty easy to understand and it compiles directly to c++ (one of the, when even the fastest programming language) which is a big plus (especially in game dev and such). Source: almost 2 years ago
