  • Ask HN: Does anyone here use Haxe?
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 17 Dec 2023
    I used it on conjunction with OpenFL a few months ago to port a Flash project. My impression is Haxe itself is a pretty solid as a language but I could only get the web-based target to work consistently. The C++ backend seems dead based on the repo activity[1] and I got GC-related crashes with no workaround. I could never get the native Android support working either since it crashed on startup.

    Also OpenFL was missing some Flash features the project relied on and I had to spend a lot of time on a fork of their repos patching them in.

  • Are there any recent benchmarks of compiled haxe vs C++?

    There's lots of features but very little documentation, so you learn features by reading tests and source code. OK for advanced devs, not great for most however

    Since I've got current pet hobby regarding static compiles (Zig is good friend at this point, the cached static cross-platform output C compiles via musl is crazy good!) I has to look up if Haxe supports this, turns out yes* when targeting C++.

  • Graphql transpiration to haxe?

    Not a general solution, but if you target Javascript you can generate Typescript typing and convert them over to Haxe externs.

    "there’s no equivalent project to DefinitelyTyped" - no, but these days you can auto-convert those TS type definitions to Haxe externs automatically! :)
