Haxe developers on other platforms may want to look at KodeStudio[1], a fork of Visual Studio Code for Haxe development. Focuses mostly on Kha, but general Haxe editing and IDE features are planned as well. [1] http://kode.tech/kode-studio-16-1/ http://kode.tech/kode-studio-16-1/

Was about to ask why it needs to be a fork and saw your link answers that question, thanks. I'm not sure what Kha is though is my only other question, might want to add a (quick) description for others who may not know as well. I'm guessing it's some sort of game development framework though?

  From Kha website http://kha.tech/ http://kha.tech/ : Kha: Portable Multimedia Framework The coolest way to develop your software application, 2D or 3D game for desktop, iOS, Android, web and consoles. True Cross-Platform: Build your games natively to desktops, tablets, phones and consoles. Implement once, run everywhere: Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, HTML5, Flash, Tizen, PlayStation Vita, Xbox 360 and even Unity 3D. Features: - Great performance on each platform. - Generational graphical/audio API design. - Hardware accelerated 2D and high-end 3D graphics. Fallback support (i.e. html5 canvas). - Can run on top of other game engines (i.e. Unity3D). - Write shaders in GLSL and cross-compile to target specific shaders. - Kha apps can also be compiled to C# or Java libraries Flexible and robust backend system. Adding your own takes little effort and is straight forward. - One API for all platforms! - Support for VR technology (W.I.P). - Networking multiplayer support (W.I.P). - Dedicated IDE : Kode Studio.

  Kha is game framework for the haxe language. It can be used for other things like multimedia aplications. Kha can build apps for many different targets (thanks do Haxe), like windows, mac, linux, android, ios, html5, flash and others (see https://github.com/KTXSoftware/Kha https://github.com/KTXSoftware/Kha and the wiki). It has support for 2d and 3d, and vulkan is being add. Kha is very simple and portable, usually the users use its functions or build a engine on top of it.

There's ongoing work to make haxe plugins for Visual Studio Code, KodeStudio is one of many such efforts, there's talk of unifying them for general Haxe development, regardless of the framework used: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/Project-Management/issues/49 https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/Project-Management/issues/...
