- phplovesong 2y agoHaxe is still alive! The devs are working on 5.0 as we speak! Its really calming that Haxe is not moving as fast as the JS/TS ecosystem. You upgrade once every 3-4 years. Everything just usually "works" We use Haxe for PHP and its really a secret hidden superpower, im amazed people dont know about / use. Its mostly marketing, i guess. But i wish more devs tried it as an alternative to PHP or TypeScript, as the language is WAY better in almost every way.
- zem 2y agoyeah, I know it's alive :) but I was hoping it would be one of the standard recommendations for javascript devs to reach for when they wanted a better type system. (I was also sad that it never developed a good option for desktop apps, the language itself was very pleasant to use but the ecosystem seemed very focused on game dev the couple of times I tried it)
