While I applaud what they're doing, it's a bit weird how that post keeps throwing around open-source rhetoric when neither Steam nor any of Valve's games are open source. The only regard in which this has anything to do with open source sof

As a student of compilers myself, it's my understanding that producing bytecode is as easy as--if not vastly easier than--producing code in another language, and that this is particularly true when the target language is high-level. The onl

I am not unfamiliar with HaXe. The only reason I can imagine for the authors having done this is that they did not know better. I am inclined to give them more credit than that, however, so I posted a question in the hopes that somebody els

Static typing is orthogonal to, although not generally paird with, message passing. You can have dynamically typed Java-style OO easily.

There are plenty of happy Lisp programmers and healthy tools for them around today. A rapidly increasing number, even, thanks to the likes of Clojure and maturing free CL implementations and ecosystems.

You can't drag from the prompt and select the line below it without also selecting the right-hand prompt and all the whitespace that leads up to it. Not a huge issue, but it means extra editing every time that comes up.
