Hi Jason, You're very first statement is exactly what interests me too. You wrote "Thinking of starting to learn haXe to produce OOP apps and export as Javascript for HTML 5 apps."
What are your thoughts so far? I just looked at Haxe too but I'm concerned because there doesn't seem to be a lot of actvity in the Haxe forum. I'm at a loss this morning because at this moment I really just want to make a web based app that performs well on the iPhone. I have looked at the following and am not finding satisfaction: appmobi - they get too many hooks into you and force you down paths you may not necessarily want to go - like using the Amazon network to store files. I just wanted to grab my resources and upload them to MY server. No easy task with appmobi. phonegap - everyone seems to love it, but it seems to be primarily geared to use traditional web based tools to compile to native apps. I want to be on the web - not the device. jQuery mobile - assumes you want to make a web site, not an app and injects all kinds of styles that get in the way. I'm a big fan of jQuery, but jQuery mobile is very confining. sencha - seems promising, but within 2 hours of working with it I seem to have found a bug. I cannot add a listener. May be my misunderstanding though, so I'm going to continue. Based on this conversation I looked at NME, but again, my small mindedness, it feels like voodoo and it just doesn't seem to put much emphasis on publishing for web based apps. Overall, I must say I resent the hell out of Steve Jobs. His comments have thrown us back into the dark ages. I look at the options to accommodate his vision and I see one Frankenstein solution after another. HTML5 seems to be a handful of multimedia tags meant to make everyone and their mom a web programer and that it will work on everything. Hahhahahaha. The problem is that the reality is it takes a boat load of JS and fall backs to make it work. We had AS3. It did the job and though it was flawed it was far and away the best cross platform solution there was. dammit. Because of one dummy and his legions of lemmings we're back to using 15 year old scripting languages to get things done. Hmmmm. Guess I'm a little feisty and bitter this morning! :) Thanks for letting me vent. Anyway, I appreciate the discussion very much on this topic.
