I like Haxe, mostly, it's a nice language, built by passionate people. Typescript has replaced it in our cooperate projects, but I still love building tools in Haxe. Just to keep it fun.
- Alifatisk 2y agoI haven't touched Haxe but I still find it interesting, are there any downsides or trade-offs I should be aware off? Maybe something that bothers you that needs a workaround?
- qwery 2y agoApologies but I could only think of a trade-on. Haxe makes it really easy to get started and get a feel for things, just have a go! I found the opposite with Typescript, where it seemed like I had to already be a javascript developer to use it.
- wavemode 2y agoHaxe compiles to a lot of languages. Some of those language targets are better maintained than others. I've definitely had situations where some usage of esoteric Haxe features (like, deep/complex generics alongside runtime polymorphism) compiled fine to one target but compiled to invalid or incorrect code on another. (Interestingly, in my experience the C++ target is rock solid. Though that experience is from many years ago.) In any case, the best source for known compiler bugs is always gonna be GitHub: https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Abug https://github.com/HaxeFoundation/haxe/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is...
