I have used HaXe for a while - however no where near the level that it could be used for.
It's developed by Nicolas Canesse of MTASC fame as well as the developer of the Neko VM and HaXe which runs on top of it. Excellent and active community and the features are constantly expanding (considering the additions of output targets such as iPhone, PHP, JS, etc).
Well worth a look for any developer (even if you aren't interested in the Flash portion which seems to be the biggest usage area).
- mhd 16y agoIs NekoVM interesting? As you said, using it for Flash is the most interesting part, as it's a good alternative to the official tools, especially on platforms Adobe doesn't like that much. Yet compiling to PHP for the web (page/service) part of it seems oddly wrong to me. JavaScript/node would be another option, but something more native might pique my interest.
- elliottcarlson 16y agoI agree that the PHP portion seems wrong - but it is in active development and I know a lot of people are indeed using that feature - so while it might not be my personal output target of choice, it does get used. The biggest benefit of all this is a build once, deploy multiple architecture, so if you are a Flash developer, you can also target iPhone or C++ for desktop, or other outputs with slight code changes.
- jdonaldson 16y agoWhen developing for php or any target, you still need to be aware of some of the quirks: http://haxe.org/com/quirks http://haxe.org/com/quirks These are familiar to php devs, but maybe less so for people who just want to work with haxe on php platforms.
