I am glad Haxe is still going strong. I remember when it was an alternate language for the Flash virtual machine- everyone thought it was very cool at the time.

- zwetan 8y agoyou're comparing apples and oranges Flash (a browser plugin) being dead does not make ActionScript (a programming language) dead you can use ActionScript to publish with Adobe AIR and Haxe AFAIK can do that too
- titanix2 8y agoNo he's right. Haxe was developed by a French game company to target the Flash runtime instead of using Adobe's compiler. It can also compile to other languages: it was uses to code the full stack in the same language will using popular runtimes at the time (PHP, Javascript, Flash).
