A Haxe developer with 3 years of experience here. I'm at the point to cross compile projects for IOS from Linux & Docker.
I started coding Haxe as a transition from being a AS3 Flash dev. At first, I've found the name odd and the idea of cross-platform is bloated but I came back for following reasons:
- Language being almost same as Actionscript 3, which I already knew and which I made stable income in past with.
- Native compilation. While this sounds bloated, I never had a critical issue since I rarely deploy more than 2 platforms, and I see difference is very small when I don't use a platform specific library.
- Despite small community, as because libraries and tools are intuitive enough, ease of use overtaken my need of too much help. Project leaders are very responsive and energetic if you get confused anyway.
Only thing you will notice is that, the build tools and package management needs a bit revolution if community will grow further but I had no issues until today. Most of the time I prepared a Dockerfile to freeze everything and moved on.
