Haxe is interesting. I remember coming across it back in the days of Flash.
They also had a bytecode VM of their own called Neko.
At the time when I heard of it there were three platforms you could target with Haxe: JavaScript, Flash, and Neko.
It’s pretty cool to see that after all these years Haxe is still alive and in use.
- technoooooost 4y agoHaxe is a pile of dump with bugged generics, garbage tooling and no community. Unusable for anything bigger than toys. Had to use it at a gaming startup. Everybody hated it, including the CEO, and we were planning moving to Unity as soon as possible.
