I personally wouldn't do any medium-to-large JavaScript project in anything but Haxe at this point.
> I wonder why it's not more popular?
It's a relatively young language (8 years old, but it's only been mature for a fraction of that). I think it just hasn't reached critical mass yet.
- gngeal 13y agoDoesn't OED4 use it as the platform it's built on?
- sbarre 13y agoVery interesting.. I hadn't thought of this particular use-case (targeting Javascript)... You've had good success with cross-browser issues?
- seabrookmx 13y agoHaxeJS comes with a built in JQuery extern, so you can basically make a page the same way you would with a JS/JQuery frontend, but you get the language feature and type checking benefits of Haxe. JQuery should handle all your front-end cross-browser issues. Also, you can do your backend in Haxe, and target the NekoVM (via mod_neko (single thread per request) or mod_tora (multi-threaded) for Apache) or NodeJS. Haxe could do this long before Dart showed up.
