plum VS haxe

You can use https://github.com/beartype/plum instead of that elif chain too

Singledispatch is old, dates back to py2: https://docs.python.org/3/library/functools.html#functools.s...

I definitely agree that multiple dispatch is a lot harder :). But most of the examples in the article didn't need it, and it would have been appropriate I think to show equivalent code in Python. All that article did was make me think the author didn't know Python very well.

There are several libraries for multiple dispatch too, for e.g. https://github.com/wesselb/plum

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.
