:) What if we acknowledge the fact that HaXe is a one man efforts. Then, we can compare this man (Nicolas Cannasse) with Adobe's efforts and teams of tens of tens of people. There, there my ladies and gents, there we have it. Shame on Adobe, once again, once again (I am serious, and the issue is serious).
We have the Flash Player which is a truely amazing plugin (and will remain as it is: the swiss army knife of plugins). Then we have HaXe with its stricter typing, keener compiler, I mean: THAT'S THE WAY TO GO even if it is going nowhere. These precise points are the key to making a whole thing go round (ie: reinventing the wheel). HaXe offers you to export to Desktop (and that was way before AIR could produce any good results), to C++, to HTML5, all in all with AS3 *that is better structured, more professional* I might add. How can I dare to compare HaXe to AS3 ? I don't know, I just feel that if a one man can do it, then a corporation can't. I was proven right .... (at least until today). So, if HaXe dies, I die :) On the other side, I am truely concerned about Flash right now. Adobe killed the cow and it is now looking for an animal that could bring them milk. What a bummer these stupid business people. Going on the iOS was a mistake, we don't care about stupid people clicking stupid standard lists and getting thrilled all the day long with it, OR DO WE ? "Hey man, look at my standard list, it slides to the right and it has the standard colors plus it is standard. Standards are so boring, everything is serious, people are bursting in explosions if the list's colors are not standard. I tell (and ask) you: what will we do with these extermists people looking for ONE font, ONE color, ONE list. Will we end up with a MEGA LIST thing, where everything is put into it and the rest will be crap ? iOS is a no go. Flash is a no go. Adobe killed the cow and it is now looking for an animal that could bring them milk. Adobe killed the cow and it is now looking for an animal that could bring them milk. Adobe killed the cow and it is now looking for an animal that could bring them milk. I hate exploiters.
