awesome-config VS haxe

My config is on Github[0] and it's an absolute mess: at first I used plain Lua, then tried MoonScript (which was a huge let down, unfortunately), then switched to Haxe. In all 3 cases this config was my first time using the languages in question, so the code is... less than ideal, let's leave it at that :)

If you want to set up something similar, you can start with haxeshigh/Makefile[1] and haxeshigh/bin/build (it's a shell script). In the haxeshigh/src/ there are implementations of three widgets: battery, brightness, and taglist[2]. The last one is the most complex as it uses coroutines to animate (slide in/out) the widget on screen. The rest of src/ are wrappers/type definitions for objects from Awesome, plus some macros/helpers for working with Lua tables (which are both arrays and hash tables at the same time, Haxe doesn't like this).

I found some bugs in the Lua part of the Haxe compiler (genlua.ml), but it was a long time ago, so they are probably fixed already. I don't remember the details, but the fix was trivial... I'll try to look for the issue and see if it's already fixed later.

This remineds me of Haxe[1]. I like Wax better because of the Common-Lisp-like syntax.

I thought this was a three.js demo but it's actually built with a language called haxe [1]. I've never heard of this language before and looks really cool. Makes me want to play with it!

The Haxe programming language (https://haxe.org/). It's insane how unpopular this is compared to its value.

"Haxe can build cross-platform applications targeting JavaScript, C++, C#, Java, JVM, Python, Lua, PHP, Flash, and allows access to each platform's native capabilities. Haxe has its own VMs (HashLink and NekoVM) but can also run in interpreted mode."

It's mostly popular in game dev circles, and is used by: Nortgard, Dead Cells, Papers Please, ... .

For those interested in cross platform game development, don't forget https://haxe.org/! The usefulness / popularity ratio is very high on this one :).

Sounds like haxe: https://haxe.org/

I really enjoyed programming in AS3, and https://haxe.org/ was really helpful at the time to make development easier.

Been tinkering in the Haxe programming language recently. I definitely suggest checking it out, but one thing I liked was private constants. I know other languages have this, but its where I've encountered it most recently.
