As long as it's fully supported and not just bolted on the side, that's
fine
by me. However I would hedge my bets that HX will slowly move away as
Apollo steps in. I'll certainly use it in the meantime, but I suspect the
gravity of the HaXe/Screenweaver partnership will win out overall (and
probably should).
Several important differences between Screenweaver HX and Apollo :
- size : SWHX takes 450 KB. Apollo is expected to be in the 5-9 MB range
- extensibility : SWHX is extensible with custom-made C libraries.
Apollo is not
- open source : SWHX is open source. If you get a bug, simply report it
and it should be fixed in terms of days. If it's critical for you,
you'll not have to wait the next big release since you can recompile the
sources.
- API : Apollo 1.0 does not have databases planned. From SWHX you can
already access a big number of haXe APIs, including SQLite an MySQL
databases.
