Nicolas is developer and promotions team for haXe all in one. ;-)
But haXe alone can't compete with Laszlo and Flex in some aspects. For example, just because these frameworks offer a XUL like attempt for fast developing GUIs. What I mean is, that both are using a declarative, xml-based programming language (MXML or LZX) sometimes mixed with some ECMA-Scripts. Of course Flex generates AS classes out of the MXML before compiling, but you don't have to bother about that all the time while you write nice apps. I have made a comparison of several workflows/frameworks (Laszlo VS. Flex (1.5 at that time) VS. Flash IDE VS. FAMES VS DHTML/XmlHttpRequest (AJAX)) in my diploma thesis, which is written in german. The biggest problem in comparing such workflow/frameworks is in setting up nice criteria in which one can compare them. I wrote the same calendar application using all of these workflows/frameworks. Interesting for me: I finished the application fastest with OpenLaszlo, which I had never used before. Don't get me wrong each workflow (also haXe) has its advantages and disadvantages. It depends on your problem/project definition. Matthias 2007/1/30, Nicolas Cannasse <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
