Hey cedric :) haxe used to be a one man effort. there are quite a few people on the compiler team now, then there are others that develop and maintain the different targets. so it's not fair to say it's a one man show, although it is fair to say that nicholas created something very very impressive indeed.
it is worrying what adobe have done recently, fortunately i never bought into flex that much! if i had i'd be very pissed off at the moment. 2011/12/1 Cédric Muller <[email protected]> > :) > > What if we acknowledge the fact that HaXe is a one man efforts.
